Organic Raw Virgin Coconut Oil

1 Gallon

General Description

Coconut oil is white when solid and transparent when in its liquid form. PRANA’s coconut oil is 100% unrefined.

Origin

The origin of the coconut is actually a controversial topic. The argument is South Asia or northwestern South America. There is evidence that supports both sides of the debate.

Nutrition and Benefits

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which happens to also be found in breast milk. It is a very important ingredient as it plays a significant role in strengthening a baby's immune system. After weaning, it is rather difficult to find this ingredient because lauric acid is only present in heavy creams and whole, unpasteurized milk. Coconut oil is not only great as a food but it is also quite useful when it comes to the world of cosmetics! You can use it in small amounts on your skin and hair to make them feel soft and silky. Coconut oil is also very powerful when it comes to healing sunburns. It can reduce pain and prevent blistering by helping the skin regenerate.

Uses

Use coconut oil in your recipes instead of fat (butter/olive oil). It will give any dish an exotic flavor! Try our delicious PRANA Recipes : Vegan Citrus Cashew-Cheesecake , Pecan-Hazelnut cookies
