Coconut oil is a popular and quite nutritious oil that comes from the flesh of mature coconuts. Coconut has been the main source of food for centuries for those living in the tropics, but its use in industry and cosmetology has established it as a fairly viable commodity. Coconut oil withstands heat and is therefore suitable for cooking at high temperatures. It oxidizes slowly, is resistant to rancidity and has a shelf life of about two years or more. Pure coconut cream obtained through the wet milling process has an unlimited shelf life.
The composition of coconut oil: Coconut is quite beneficial for health in many areas and this is due to its nutritional fibers. However, the oil we get from it is a wonderful source of food that is also used in pharmacology. It has not unfairly earned the reputation as the healthiest oil in the world, even if a few years ago its saturated fat content was wrongly accused of being unhealthy.
