Coconut Oil is truly one of nature's gifts—widely used as a food product and skin moisturizer. Coconut Oil is unique as it contains antiviral, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties. Health-conscious individuals prize coconut oil for its extremely high flash point (the healthiest oil for cooking), zero trans-fatty acids, and extremely rich source of Medium-Chain Fatty Acids (MCT's)—which are broken down efficiently by the body, providing an immediate source of energy. It contributes a fresh, exotic flavor to any dish.

Coconut oil is Nature’s greatest source of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs).  MCFAs, unlike other oils, are easily digested and  completely broken down to individual fatty acids which don’t circulate the bloodstream to the degree that other fats do, but instead are used in the liver as a source of fuel to produce energy.  Also, because they are so easily digested, they contribute to the absorption of other nutrients such as fat soluble vitamins (e.g. vitamin A,D,E,K, and beta carotene).

The fatty acid content of coconut oil is: Caprylic (C8:0) 7.8 %, Capric (C10:0) 6.7%, and Lauric (C12:0) 47.5 %. Recent studies and testimonies have provided evidence to the vast health benefits  in regards to increased energy and metabolism, weight management, thyroid function, antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal, properties of these fatty acids.

Because coconut oil is a natural saturated oil it is highly resistant to peroxidation and rancidity.
