This coconut oil is about as fresh as you can get without picking the coconut yourself and extracting the oil on the spot. The coconuts are hand harvested at the peak of ripeness and freshness and are taken immediately to be processed at the facility located right there on the plantation. After being de-husked and grated the rich coconut meat is then placed in a sanitary stainless steel cold pressing machine where all of the precious oil is extracted. After filtering away any fibrous material this "liquid gold" is immediately bottled in glass without any additional ingredients. This is the real deal!

 

Raw virgin coconut oil has a host of health benefits that indigenous people of tropical areas have known about for centuries. However, in the west many of us grew to adopt the misconception that coconut oil, due to it's saturated fat content, was unhealthy and should be avoided. However, this concept was planted into our collective mind by the soy and corn industries, clearly intending to sell more of their own products that are vastly less healthy and actually quite harmful.

 

While coconut oil is indeed a saturate fat it is a medium chain fatty acid that breaks down and is utilized by the body very rapidly with very little of the bodies own energy. Coconut oil is also nearly 50% lauric acid which is a fatty acid with profound anti fungal, anti-yeast, anti-parasite, and anti-bacterial properties. It is also lower in calories than many other oils and is much less likely to be stored as fat, in fact it helps regulate the metabolism and nourish the thyroid and can aid in healthy weight loss.

 

Coconut oil is the absolute best plant oil to cook with because of it's stability and ability to resist oxidation. Many plant oils, while healthy in their raw state, are very unstable and have a very short shelf life. Coconut oil makes a great alternative to less stable oils like olive or sunflower for stir frying and even for baking. It is also a great additive to nut milks and smoothies to create a creamier, richer, fuller flavor and consistency. Aside from eating coconut oil,

also try using it as a skin protectant and moisturizer. It works amazing to lock in hydration and soften the skin, and can also help protect the skin against the damaging effects of the sun.

 

Don't be fooled by other brands of coconut oil claiming to be cold processed. While their extraction may be unheated, many go on to ferment their product or treat it with heat post-extraction. Others will bleach, deodorize, and refine their coconut oil, and you want to avoid this at all costs. The difference with our Raw Centrifuge Coconut Oil is that when you consume this oil you receive identical nutritional content and flavor to the fresh organic coconuts growing

straight from the earth of beautiful Shri Lanka! Definitely a treat to experience.
