Our organic, raw virgin coconut oil is cold-pressed from the meat of the coconut. It contains zero cholesterol and zero trans fat. The structure of the coconut, composed of the husk, shell and meat, is conducive to its versatility. This vegan product, which is unbleached, unrefined and undeodorized, has no added preservatives or other flavourings. The difference between coconut oil and other oils is in the fat molecule. All oils are composed of molecules called fatty acids, which are either saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated. They can also be categorized by the length of the carbon chain within each fatty acid. Coconut oil is predominately formed with medium-chain fatty acids, unlike the average fatty acids we consume which are long-chain fatty acids. Our body responds to each type of fatty acid differently. There are many simple and effective ways to integrate the benefits of coconut oil into your everyday routine. Since coconut oil is heat stable, it can be baked into desserts, and substituted for olive oil or vegetable oil when cooking vegetables, meat and fish. Coconut oil can also be used as a massage oil, leave-in conditioner for the hair and moisturizer for the face and body.  As refrigeration is not necessary, coconut oil is great for travelling.
