What is coconut oil?
Coconut oil is natural substance obtained from fresh coconuts. It’s versatile and can be used as a butter substitute, baking ingredient or as a high-heat cooking oil. It’s also popular for skin/body/hair purposes. How does coconut oil support health? Approximately 60 percent of coconut oil is comprised of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), but, unlike other triglycerides (which mainly contain long chain fatty acids), MCTs may be beneficial to human health.*Why choose Vitacost Coconut Oil Extra Virgin?
