Description

Pure coconut oil” is an edible oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts, known for its purity, natural aroma (if unrefined), and versatility. It is a white solid fat below approximately 24°C (76°F) and a clear liquid oil at warmer temperatures. 

Key Characteristics
100% Pure & Natural: It contains no added preservatives, chemicals, or additives.
Composition: It is almost entirely fat (99%), with a high percentage of saturated fatty acids, primarily medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) like lauric acid, which the body can use as a quick energy source.
Aroma & Flavor: Unrefined or “virgin” coconut oil has a distinct, rich coconut aroma and taste. Refined versions are typically flavorless and odorless.
Physical State: It is solid at room temperature (below 24°C) and becomes liquid when heated.
Processing: The purest forms are often labeled “virgin,” “extra-virgin,” or “cold-pressed,” meaning they are minimally processed without high heat or chemical solvents.
