Coconut Oil, Virgin, Food Grade, Cert. Organic 5 gallon

Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera)

Contains Tree Nuts (Coconut). Because this oil is virgin and not refined, the nut protein may not be removed from the oil that can cause the tree nut allergy.

Store in a cool, dry place, and avoid direct sunlight and heat.

Our Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is expeller pressed from the organic fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). It is not refined, bleached or deodorized, thus retains the distinct flavor and odor of coconut.

Both refined and unrefined coconut oil are rich in antioxidants and contain the same amount of the beneficial lauric fatty-acid containing antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. However, the virgin unrefined oil is richer in phytonutrients than refined coconut oil.

Choose unrefined coconut oil if you desire the fullest coconut flavor and the most phytonutrients. Pure coconut oil also makes a luscious and soothing massage and body oil or lotion for dry skin.

It is also ideal as a medium heat cooking oil and a healthy substitute for shortening in baking- a "better-than-butter" replacement. It's delicious in baked good recipes, and they will have a lightness that you just can't get with butter.

Cert. Organic means third-party Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International (www.qai-inc.com/), which physically inspects the herb production process from farm to pack, and Certified Organic by the USDA.
