COLD PRESSED COCONUT OIL 500ML

Coconut oil is made up of about 90% saturated fats and 9% unsaturated fats. However, the saturated fats in it differ from saturated fats in animal fats. Over 50% of the fats in coconut oil are medium chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid (12:0). Coconut oil is the highest natural source of lauric acid. Cold-pressed coconut oil is a type of coconut oil that is extracted from the meat of fresh coconuts without the use of heat. The "cold-pressed" process involves mechanically pressing the coconut meat at low temperatures, typically below 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius). This method helps to retain more of the natural nutrients, flavor, and aroma of the coconut oil compared to other extraction methods that involve heat or chemical solvents. Cold-pressed coconut oil is often preferred for its perceived higher quality and purity, as it is less processed and retains more of the beneficial compounds found in coconuts. It tends to have a mild coconut flavor and aroma, making it suitable for a variety of culinary uses, including cooking, baking, and salad dressings. Additionally, cold-pressed coconut oil is popular in skincare and haircare products due to its moisturizing and nourishing properties.
