Organic Coconut Oil

Biome chooses to buy the best quality, tastiest organic coconut oil.

When you buy coconut oil online, the best is:
  • certified organic coconut oil
  • raw coconut oil or virgin coconut oil (not heat treated and not hydrogenated)
  • low food miles (where is it grown?)
  • packaged in glass (glass is non toxic and taste neutral. Brown glass to reduce light exposure)

Cholesterol free coconut oil has been called the healthiest dietary oil on earth due to its 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 - and may assist with managing sugar cravings and slumps.

When you buy coconut oil, be aware that coconut oil contains a unique form of saturated fat that is said to help with preventing heart disease. 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 and strengthen the immune system.

Many people now buy coconut oil for cooking as it has a high smoke point and adds a lovely flavour. Coconut oil is much better than olive oil, which burns and ruins non-stick cookware. For skin care, buy coconut oil, which is a great natural moisturiser.
