VIRGIN COCONUT
Most coconut oils on sale are refined, bleached and deodorised which creates an oil which is tasteless, odorless, and waxy. It is made from copra, not fresh coconuts. There are many ways of refining coconut oil made from copra, some healthier than others. But our products is a far different lipid. Virgin coconut starts out with fresh coconuts, and doesn't require further refining as the natural antioxidant properties make very stable oil.
Coconut oil is traditionally extracted by grating or grinding copra, then boiling it in water. It was developed as a commercial product by merchants in the South Seas and South Asia in the 1860s. Coconut oil extraction is done by crushing copra to produce coconut oil. In former years copra was collected by traders going from island to island in the Pacific Ocean.
Virgin Coconut (or raw) has a distinctive fragrance and taste of coconuts present – like like a bright fresh coconut. Heavily scented and white white, it makes a great stand alone skin care aid. Just keep it in your purse or desk for a handy edible lip balm, hand cream or general moisturizer. Virgin coconut comes from a germinated coconut. Think of a big coconut as a seed that sprouts. Our yummy delicious virgin coconut comes from that "live" seed.
