Unlike many coconut oils on the market, our raw centrifuged organic virgin coconut oil comes from fresh coconuts that do not undergo a refining process. Many coconut oils go through either the quick drying or wet-milling processes to extract the oil from the coconut. Instead, we use centrifugal extraction to derive the oil from the coconut. This method of extraction requires no heat at all and produces a raw organic virgin coconut oil that is absolutely amazing!

Our organic coconuts are harvested at the perfect age and are processed the same day on the same USDA certified organic coconut plantation where they are grown. The coconuts are de-husked and grated, and the fresh coconut meat is centrifuged to extract the oil. This process preserves the live enzymes, lauric acid, and all the other immune system building nutrients. Except for picking and opening the nut, there is little human handling in our process. Stainless steel mechanical equipment is used in order to provide a sanitary controlled environment in the processing plant. The coconut oil is strained and immediately bottled. No chemicals or preservatives are added. You only get pure unadulterated organic virgin coconut oil.

Organic virgin coconut oil is known throughout the world for its nutritional value and exciting flavor. You will love ours! It is created through the centrifuge extraction, of freshly picked coconuts. This process creates a mild, sweet oil with a light coconut taste that is smooth and delicious. Best of all it is certified organic. It's wonderful by the spoon as a supplement, as a salad dressing oil, or as one of the best oils on the market for cooking.

People from many diverse cultures, languages, religions, and races scattered around the globe have revered the coconut as a valuable source of both food and medicine. Wherever the coconut palm grows the people have learned of its importance as an effective medicine. For thousands of years coconut products have held a respected and valuable place in local folk medicine. In the past coconut oil was believed to be unhealthy due to it's high saturated fat content. However, it has now been proven that fat contained in coconut is unlike any other fat on Earth and has high nutritional value. Why is Coconut Oil Different? Coconut oil has a unique fat molecule; this is what makes this oil different from most fats we consume. The Coconut Research Center explains, "The vast majority of fats and oils in our diets, whether they are saturated or unsaturated or come from animals or plants, are composed of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Some 98 to 100% of all the fatty acids you consume are LCFA." Coconut oil is known to have MCFA or medium-chain fatty acids, also referred to as MCT or medium-chain triglycerides. MCFA are metabolized by the human body differently because of their size; unlike the saturated and unsaturated fats in vegetable oils, eggs, milk and meats, which contain LCFA, coconut oil is a rare dietary source of MCFA and therefore highly beneficial to the body and overall health.

The presence of lauric acid in coconut oil is another reason it is known for having super nutritional value. Lauric acid is a fatty acid found in human breast milk. The article, How a PR Campaign Led to Unhealthy Diets by Beatrice Trum Hunter, published in the August 2003 issue of Consumer’s Research, volume 86 no. 8, states, "researchers demonstrated that coconut oil reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, heart disease, cancer, and other degenerative conditions. It helps prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, as a result of its antimicrobial component, lauric acid, which is found solely in coconut oil and in breast milk."

The many benefits of coconut oil are finally reaching the mainstream and include:

• Promoting your heart health
