Cold-pressed coconut oil (often called Virgin Coconut Oil or VCO) is extracted from the fresh meat of mature coconuts without using any heat, steam, or chemicals. By avoiding the “RBD” process (Refining, Bleaching, and Deodorizing), the oil retains its tropical aroma, fresh taste, and a powerhouse of nutrients.
🌟 Why it is a “Superfat”
Unlike most other cooking oils, coconut oil is composed primarily of Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), which are handled differently by the body:
-
Instant Energy: MCTs go straight to the liver and are used as a quick energy source rather than being stored as fat.
-
Lauric Acid: Nearly 50% of the fatty acids in coconut oil is Lauric Acid, which has potent antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral properties.
-
Weight Management: It helps boost metabolism and can increase the feeling of fullness.
-
Brain Health: Some studies suggest that the ketones produced by coconut oil can provide an alternative energy source for brain cells.
