Coconut oil is about 50 percent lauric acid, a rare medium-chain fatty acid found in mother's milk that supports healthy metabolism and is now being studied for its anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial health-protecting properties.

Ingredients: 100% raw certified organic extra-virgin coconut oil.
No trans or hydrogenated fat; no cholesterol or hexane. No refrigeration required; solid at room temperature and melts at 76 degrees.
How coconut oil is processed is the key to optimizing its taste, texture, color, and aroma. Within two hours of Nutiva's coconuts being chopped, the oil is cold-pressed at below 104 degree's. Contrast this to 99 percent of the coconut oil used today in cooking and body care: first the coconut is chopped and left to dry in the sun for days, then the meat is scooped out and sent thousands of miles to giant oil mills where the oxidizing coco meat is refined, bleached, and or deodorized—and, ironicly this product is often labeled as "certified organic".
There is no comparison between Nutiva's raw, extra-virgin Organic Coconut Oil, with its light taste, pleasant aroma, and pure white color, and industrialized coconut oil, with its bland taste, faint aroma, and off-white color. Please note any tiny brown spec or two at the bottom of Nutiva's Coconut Oil is indigenous to extra-virgin coconut oil and is from the coconut fiber.
Since the 1960s, coconut oil has been mistakenly described as unhealthy. The media reported on studies finding that tropical coconut oils were laden with artery-clogging fats. What went unreported was the fact that the coconut oil used in the studies was hydrogenated—not the virgin oil used for centuries as a staple food.

I been get Lg orders every month from this company for several years now. i always get my orders quickly in 2 or 3 days and this is one dependable company in America who doesn't have messy lengthy telephone menus .. press one button, get someone, place it, get it !! And always packed to the extreme with extra protection keeping sensitive items chilled!! Absolute Great prices and service i've finally STOPPED all the Internet surfing knowing i can get all my quality products dozens of items HERE for my personal use each month!! Five years now, AND every single month i spend an average of $200.00 knowing i'm getting the best and getting healthier at age 60 and contribute much to the Nutiva coconut oil used on everything, fruit drinks, Vege's, and as a body oil!! Only once, in 5 years, just recently i got a bad jar of vitamins that they replace in 2 days!! I wish they where local so I could go in to this place and thank them personally for serving most of what all goes on my dinner table every day over the last 5 years!! Mr. Robert Lewis
