COCONUT OIL is obtained by cold pressing the flesh of the fruit of the coconut palm. Many consider it to be the only one of the healthiest oils, which is why it is now widely used all over the world, not only in cultures that traditionally use it. It is important to know that it consists of medium-chain saturated fatty acids, which differ from long-chain fatty acids in that they are not stored in fat tissue, but are quickly absorbed by the body, and have a good effect on digestion and bowel function. It is especially suitable for the preparation of Eastern dishes where it is traditionally used. It is also an excellent substitute for margarine in the preparation of pastries and cakes, as it does not contain hydrogenated fats or trans fats, and gives dishes a special juiciness and sweetness. It is excellent for skin and hair care and regeneration. COCONUT OIL is justifiably one of the most popular skin care oils, because it not only regenerates and hydrates the skin, but also has a pleasant smell. It is especially recommended for pregnant women, as it helps prevent stretch marks.
