Kopa Foods Virgin Coconut Oil -- Made from Organic Coconuts -- Use as Cooking Oil, and For Hair and Body -- 56 Ounce (Pack of Two - 28 oz)

Coconut Oil, virgin cold pressed maintains the natural properties of coconut oil. It is not refined; not bleached; and not deodorized with unnatural chemical processes. This coconut oil is taken from the meat of the coconut with mechanical cold pressing technique. This coconut oil is vegan.

Virgin coconut oil has a smoke point of about 350 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the ideal oil for baking and sauteing. It has a mild flavor, and should be substituted where other oils, margarine, and butter is used.

With a very high proportion of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut oil is used as a dietary aid for the benefits of a diet high in MCTs. MCTs diffuse without modification by the body from the digestive tract. Medium-chain triglycerides digest without the body using bile salts, as do the long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) in many other cooking oils. MCTs therefore require the least metabolic energy to digest, and are the least stressful on the body for digestion. MCTs are associated with reducing food cravings, and promote fat oxidation in the body. In this way, coconut oil is a good source of fat to reduce overall bodyfat percentages.

Virgin coconut oil is best kept by your range ready for use in the saute pan, and whenever you bake. Coconut oil moisturizes dry lips and skin as effectively as anything sold specifically for that purpose. Handmade lotion and cream makers use coconut oil in their recipes for skin conditioning properties.
