DescriptionTropical Traditions' coconut oil is a premium coconut oil that has not been refined, bleached or deodorized. Made in the Philippines, coconut oil is a great substitute for other oils and can be used in cooking and baking as well as used topically. It also has natural antibacterial, anti-microbial, and anti--fungal properties and can be used on the yeast free eating program*.
Coconut oil is different because it is composed of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Unlike the long chain triglycerides found in meat and most vegetable oils, which are typically stored as body fat, MCTs are rapidly burned for energy. *
Because the MCTs in coconut oil boost metabolism and promote a feeling of fullness, coconut oil may be a helpful addition to a weight loss program, especially if it replaces other types of fat in the diet. And because MCTs are easily digested, coconut oil may be a good nutritional choice for those with digestive disorders such as Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). *
Besides being nature's most abundant source of MCTs, coconut oil is also rich in the fatty acid called lauric acid, which is found in mother's milk and is a proven antiviral and antibacterial agent.*
This coconut oil is highly stable and its usage is preferred over that of extra virgin olive oil because it does not go rancid, nor does it turn into trans fatty acids at high heat. the coconut oil is in a solid state up to 76 degrees. Above that it will turn into a liquid form, but easily goes back to a solid state without damaging the product.
