What Is It?

It was not so long ago that Coconut oil had a bad name due to the fats it contained. It is now recognised that the MCT (medium chain triglycerides) have a positive effect on your health and that Coconut oil is actually good for the heart. In fact Coconut oil is now being branded as the new superfood.

The fatty acids in coconut oil are actually metabolized differently and resulting in some amazing benefits such as: weight control, reducing blood pressure, boost the immune system , eases digestion, controls sugar cravings.

Coconut oil is extracted from the flesh of the coconut. It has a slight nutty flavour and works well in both savoury and sweet dishes. It’s particularly popular in vegan cooking and can replace dairy products to make pastry and creamy desserts. It has a very high smoking point when cooking and has a long shelf life.
