Coconut Oil
Omega Nutrition's Virgin Coconut Oil is suitable for raw food diets and is great for cooking that benefits from a full coconut flavor and aroma.
Experts recognize the health benefits
The general public is beginning to understand that not all saturated fats are alike. Primarily made up of medium chain fatty acids (MCTs). Coconut Oil is metabolized efficiently and converted into energy rather than stored as fat. Dieters, athletes and people who have trouble digesting fat, find Coconut Oil can be more readily digested than other oils.
Lauric acid supports immune function
Coconut is also a significant plant source of lauric acid, a fatty acid recognized for its anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-protozoal properties. Esteemed fat and lipid scientist Dr. Mary Eniz states, "Recently published research has shown that natural coconut fat in the diet leads to a normalization of body lipids, protects against alcohol damage to the liver, and improves the immune system's anti-inflammatory response."
No trans-fatty acids
Both of Omega Nutrition's Coconut Oils contain no trans-fatty acids and are non-hydrogenated. These naturally-saturated oils can handle the heat of higher temperature cooking.
Easy to use
Coconut Oil is ideal for moderate to higher temperature cooking. Use to replace butter or shortening in baking recipes. Also, a great vegan and dairy-free alternative to butter on toast or crackers.
Storage
Coconut Oil is semi-solid at temperatures under 76ºF/24ºC, and becomes liquid when temperatures rise above this mark. Coconut Oil will solidify when refrigerated. To soften, remove from fridge well ahead of preparation time.
