1 Gal Centrifuged Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Our Nature's Approved Organic Centrifuged Coconut Oil comes from a family owned, multi-generational coconut farm in Central America, dedicated to producing quality oil and committed to adhering to the strict guidelines of organic certification. The oil comes from white coconut meat (from coconuts picked at just the right maturity level) and put through a rigorous selection method in which only the quality meat is chosen to be used for our Nature's Approved Organic Centrifuged Coconut Oil. Coconut milk is produced first by pressing the undried coconut meat then put through a centrifuge machine multiple times to separate out the water. The result is a high quality coconut oil with minimal coconut flavor which is great for cooking if you want to avoid a coconutty flavor and just as great to consume by itself (in smoothies or spread on toast). Health Benefits This oil has a similar fatty acid profile to our cold pressed extra virgin oil and most of the benefits of the coconut oil come from these fats including their antibacterial and antiviral properties and their suitability to easily convert to ketones and fuel neurons and muscle. The lack of strong taste indicates that the plant sterols and flavonoids may be mostly water soluble and separated out with the water. But a healthy diet yields plant sterols and flavanoids from other fruits, vegetables and nuts. The centrifuge process is more expensive than cold pressed due to the extra steps needed with the non dried coconut meat. The end product however is a delightful change.
