Coconut oil is the most healing oil you can consume, and the healthiest choice for cooking with. It is rich in lauric acid, which is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiparasitical, and antiviral. Close to two-thirds of its saturated fat is made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which are actually health promoting they are antimicrobial, easily digested for quick energy, and beneficial to the immune system.
Most commercial coconut oils are refined, bleached, and deodorized, and some are even hydrogenated. Others that are called “cold-pressed” still are fermented or heated, losing the natural vitamin E and tocopherols needed for stability and protection against rancidity.
Virgin Oil De Coco-Crème, the highest quality virgin coconut oil. This certified organic coconut oil is identical to unextracted oil from coconuts in flavor and nutritional content. It is produced from fresh coconuts in a process that uses no heating or chemical treatment.
Creamy, smooth, and sweet with a mild coconut taste, this premium-quality oil blends well with other flavors, and can be used in a wide variety of recipes. And it is so light and delicious that you can literally eat it by the spoonful!
Coconut oil contains absolutely no trans fats. Although many people mistakenly believe coconut oil is dangerous to health due to its saturated fat content, close to two-thirds of its saturated fat is made up of medium-chain fatty acids, which are actually health promoting they are antimicrobial, easily digested for quick energy, and beneficial to the immune system.
The popular misconceptions about coconut oil can be traced to some decades-old flawed studies, some of which used hydrogenated (chemically altered, unnatural) coconut oils, and to misleading advertising campaigns generated by the edible oil industry. The industry instead promoted polyunsaturated fats (such as canola, soybean, safflower. and corn), which easily go rancid when exposed to oxygen and produce harmful free radicals in our bodies. Coconut oil was falsely accused of leading to coronary heart disease, a myth that has been refuted by a large body of research showing that consumption of natural coconut oil is beneficial to health, including cardiovascular health.
Traditional wisdom also supports the regular use of coconut oil. It has been used as a traditional food by the Polynesians since ancient times, and they have among the lowest rates of heart disease in the world.
Some of the health benefits of consuming coconut oil include:
Lauric acid, known for its antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal functions, makes up about 50% of the fatty acid in coconut fat. In the body, it is converted to monolaurin, a powerful monoglyceride that destroys lipid-coated viruses (such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, and influenza) as well as pathogenic bacteria including helicobacter pylori and listeria monocytogenes.
Coconut oil can vary widely in both quality and effectiveness. Most commercial coconut oils are refined, bleached, and deodorized, and many are made from “copra,” or dried coconut meat. Some are even hydrogenated. Others that are called “cold-pressed” still are fermented or heated to remove water, and in the process they lose the natural vitamin E and tocopherols needed for stability and protection against rancidity.
Virgin Oil De Coco-Crème, a virgin, cold-pressed, vitamin E rich, “biologically pure” coconut oil that is identical to unextracted oil from coconuts. Our organic coconut oil is produced from fresh coconuts and extracted in a process that guarantees no heating or chemical treatment before, during, or after pressing. It is one of the purest natural oils of any kind, and retains the true characteristics and nutritional content of fresh coconut. The natural vitamin E, antioxidants, and fresh coconut “essence” are preserved.
To make Virgin Oil De Coco-Crème, fresh coconut meat is grated and expeller-pressed to produce coconut milk, which is then centrifuged to separate it into solid components, oil, and water with no heating, refining, bleaching, or deodorizing. To our knowledge, it is also the only certified organic virgin coconut oil that is produced under strict hygienic standards.
This premium-quality oil has a very light texture and all the flavor and aroma of fresh coconut. It is so light and delicious that you can literally eat it by the spoonful! Creamy, smooth, and sweet with a mild coconut taste, it blends well with other flavors, and can be used in a wide variety of recipes. It can also be applied externally to promote healthy skin and help prevent wrinkles.
Coconut Butter
Warm it up, mix it up, and spread the flavor! Freshly made from whole coconut flesh, our Raw Coconut Butter is a whole food, not just oil. This delicious “cream” melts in your mouth with full coconut flavor and aroma, while giving you whole coconut nutrition: oil, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. No additives—only pure, unadulterated coconut.
We call our Raw Coconut Butter a “butter” because it has more in common with nut butters than coconut oil. That’s because it is made from the whole flesh of the coconut; it’s also spreadable when slightly soft. Others call it coconut cream because it is so creamy when soft. Everyone, however, calls it delicious and unbelievable!
Raw Coconut Butter is soft at above 80° F. and solid at lower temperatures. You can soften it by putting the jar inside a bowl of warm water; then stir well for a creamy, smooth texture.
Add it to smoothies, fruit salads, sauces, salad dressings, and baked goods. Use it as a topping for ice cream, mix with cacao nibs or fruit to create your own dessert sensations, or eat it right out of the jar. Delectable!
Raw Coconut Butter is made using a low-temperature process (below 115° F.) that preserves the vital enzymes, vitamins, and proteins. It is made from 100% certified organic coconut, with no preservatives or other additives, in a facility that does not process any peanut, gluten, or dairy products.
