It is SO easy and such a pleasure for us to write about coconut oil! We use it every day, we love the flavor that it imparts to food, and we adore the amaZing health benefits! Given a very bad rap years ago by the up and coming vegetable oil makers, coconut oil was made out to be a villain when in actuality, its health benefits were and still are heads and shoulders above any vegetable oil!
Vegetable oils have been processed to give them a longer shelf life, but even with the processing, most vegetable oils are still rancid by the time that you get them, or are half way through the bottle. Heat them and they become transfats that get sticky and clog your arteries. Coconut oil on the other hand remains liquid in your body and helps to keep your arteries clean and your cells fed. It is filled with nutrients and is as good nutritionally for your insides as it is for your outsides. Yes, we put it on our skin and hair as well!
Unlike vegetable oils, this oil has not been processed. It is unrefined, chemical-free, unfermented, undeodorized, unbleached and unhydrogenated. This oil is certified organic and is non GMO! The flavor is rich and clean-tasting…tropical and slightly sweet, just like a real coconut.
Nutiva is pure white below 76 degrees Fahrenheit, and a clear liquid above that temperature. The only ingredient is pure cold pressed oil from fresh coconuts that were picked no more than two hours before being pressed! The flavor is rich and enhances just about anything that you cook in it! The great thing about coconut oil is that is has a very high flash point. In other words, you can heat it to a very high heat before it will ignite…or change its characteristics. You can’t say that about any other oil!
So, use this to cook your eggs in the morning, whip some lemon juice, vinegar or herbs into it and you have a salad dressing. Coat a chicken with it and bake it, or sauté chicken or fish in it in a skillet. Mix it into brownies instead of vegetable oil for the best that you have ever tasted, and pop real popcorn in it on the stove top. It’s healthy, it’s tasty, and it’s good for you inside and out: it’s Pure Zing!
