Coconut oil has been called the healthiest dietary oil on earth and has been used throughout Asia and the Pacific for thousands of years as both a food and a medicine.

Coconut oil has been called the healthiest dietary oil on earth due to its chemical structure and rich source of MCT’s (Medium Chain Triglycerides), which are small fats digested so quickly that the body uses them as an immediate source of energy rather than storing them in the body's fat cells.

Once mistakenly thought to be bad because of its saturated fat content, coconut oil is now known to contain a unique form of saturated fat that actually helps prevent heart disease, stroke and hardening of the arteries. The saturated fat in coconut oil is unlike the fat found in meat or other vegetable fats. It is identical to a special group of fats found in human breast milk which have been shown to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and protect against bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

Coconut oil is ideal for cooking as it has a high smoke point and is deliciously creamy in flavour. It is a great natural moisturiser as it helps to keep skin soft and smooth by penetrating deep into the skin. Tropical communities have used coconut oil as an ‘anti-wrinkle’ treatment for centuries.
