Coconut oil is produced in Southeast Asian countries. In addition to being used as edible oil, coconut oil can also be used for hair care and skin care, cleaning oil stains, and toothache treatment. Coconut oil contains more than 50% lauric acid, which only exists in breast milk and a few foods in nature. It is beneficial to the human body but not harmful, so it is called “the healthiest oil on earth”.

Classification of coconut oil?

According to different preparation methods and raw materials, coconut oil can be roughly divided into crude coconut oil, refined coconut oil, fractionated coconut oil and virgin coconut oil.

Most of the edible coconut oil we buy is virgin coconut oil, made from fresh coconut meat, which retains most of the nutrients, has a faint coconut fragrance, and is solid when condensed.

Refined coconut oil: commonly used in industrial food additives
