Coconut oil has been called a superfood by a lot of people, and for all the right reasons - its nutty and sweet flavours can surely do wonders for you when used in the right way. Coconut oil is a food product made from the meat of mature coconuts obtained from coconut palm trees. Coconut oil contains a high percentage of saturated fat (about 86 percent), making it exceptionally stable and resistant to oxidation and rancidity. We have seen the coconut come to popularity for both our kitchens and beauty needs, whether it's drinking coconut water, using coconut oil as a moisturizer, or adding a teaspoon to bakes. Virgin coconut oil is said to be of greater quality than refined coconut oil, as it contains more antioxidant polyphenols and nutrients such as vitamin E. 

Organic Coconut Oil

Both virgin and pure types of organic coconut oil are available in the market. The real difference between organic coconut oil and other coconut oils is the method of cultivation. Organic coconut oil originates from trees that have never been treated with synthetic fertilizers or insecticides and are cultivated in organic manure. On top of that, no chemicals are used in the process of oil extraction. The virgin version of organic coconut oil is processed in the same way. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between virgin coconut oil and organic coconut oil since they are so similar. Both of them have essentially identical flavours and appearances. However, organic coconut oil is generally thought to be of greater quality than other coconut oils. 

Benefits of using our organic coconut oil in food are:

• It has anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties

Lauric acid, which makes up around half of the MCFAs in coconut oil, adds to the oil's anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fungal qualities.

• It helps in the treatment of skin conditions

The most widespread use of coconut oil for the prevention and treatment of chronic skin diseases, appears to be supported by consistent evidence. It's also been proved to help with some difficult dermatological problems.

• Helps with damaged hair

Coconut oil's lauric acid appears to have a strong affinity for hair protein and can permeate inside the hair shaft due to the oil's structure. As a result, organic coconut oil and treatments produced from it may be beneficial in preventing hair damage, caused by protein loss from grooming and UV exposure. 

• Makes teeth stronger

Oil pulling is a classic ayurvedic therapy for maintaining oral health that was first used in ancient India. Recent research suggests that coconut oil is extensively being used to prevent dental problems, by lowering plaque production.

Tips for cooking with organic coconut oil

• It is important to keep measurements in mind while cooking with organic coconut oil, if it is consumed in excess - it can result in indigestion or excess fats in the body.
• If you are to use organic coconut oil as a substitute for other fats like butter, use the oil a quarter less than in the recipe, as coconut oil contains more fat than butter.

• When it comes to storing coconut oil, make sure you do so in a cool place, away from sunlight, as exposure to direct light can cause rancidity, or you can just simply refrigerate it.

Coconut is one such fruit or seed that has been provided to us by nature and can be consumed in any way. When it isn't edible, the husk can be used to manufacture mats and brushes, and to even cover homes to protect them from rain and storms. While both the water and the fruit are tasty, the oil produced from them has numerous benefits, like we already saw. Coconut oil and other coconut extracts are incredibly good for the human body, from hair to skin to eyes. Oil is an example of a product that may be utilized for your overall health.
