Coconut oil is resistant to oxidation at high heats; making it the perfect oil for high heat cooking and frying.

Coconut oil mostly consists of Medium Chain Triglycerides which the body prefers to use as energy and not store as body fat.

12-carbon Lauric Acid the fatty acid found in coconut oil is broken down into a compound called monolaurin in the body, known to kill harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses in the body.

TIP: Many mix coconut oil with butter 50/50 based on various reasons from taste, what they are cooking and cost (half the amount good for us is better than none).
