History and Usage:

Jarrow FORMULAS® Organic Coconut Oil (Cocus nucifera) is expeller-pressed from dehydrated coconut palm fruit without the application of solvents. Coconut oil is a excellent source of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), e.g., lauric (C-12) and caprylic acid (C-8). Coconut oil maintains its stability during extended periods of storage. Coconut is versatile. Its melting point is 75-76° F, so it can be used in either liquid or solid forms. It has a neutral flavor, making it ideal for cooking and baking. Refrigeration is recommended after opening to maintain freshness.

Unlike the judgments of some, coconut oil is a beneficial dietary component. Places in which heavy amounts of coconut oil are ingested, especially in tropical regions, people enjoy healthier lives, fewer occurrences of heart disease, cancer, and colon difficulties.
