Coconut oil is highly nutritious as it contains lauric acid which helps to boost vitality. It is rich in medium chain fatty acids which are known to increase metabolism as they are easy to digest and immediately converts into energy rather than being stored as fat. Coconut oil supports proper function of the Thyroid so can aid weight balance.
Our virgin coconut oil is made from the milk of freshly harvested coconuts which are fermented for 24–36 hours. During this time the coconut water separates from the oil. The oil is then slightly heated for a short time to remove any moisture and filtered. The result is a clear coconut oil that retains its distinct scent and fabulous taste of coconut. This method of extraction has been used in the Far East for hundreds of years.
Usage:
- Coconut oil has a high smoke point so is great for stir-frying or in South East Asian curries.
- Use as an alternative to butter and spreads
- Delicious added to smoothies, stirred into porridge or as a butter alternative by making a 50% mix of coconut oil and 50% hemp oil, put in the fridge and chill
- Use as a massage oil on the skin as it is easily absorbed and has cooling properties. Great for use with very dry skin or cracked heels.
