Looking for a Way to Eat Right Without Giving Up Flavor?

Many people are becoming more aware of the importance of eating well and leading a healthy lifestyle, but aren't sure exactly how to incorporate this into their own routine. Contrary to popular belief, eating well doesn't have to mean a drastic overhaul of how you cook.

It also doesn't mean that you have to compromise on taste or texture.

With just a few simple additions to your cooking methods and daily diet, you can start eating more healthily while enjoying every last bite. Nutiva is proud to offer an extensive range of healthy, delicious hemp foods and virgin coconut oil products that make it easier than ever to start eating right.

Try Unrefined Coconut Oil for Better Taste and Better Health

For example, Nutiva's extra-virgin coconut oil is not only good for you, but it's an excellent addition to any kitchen. Our virgin coconut oil is unrefined, unbleached and unfermented, giving it a light taste, pleasant aroma and pure white color. Our coconut oil is also unhydrogenated, eliminating the unhealthy fats found in hydrogenated oils. For centuries, people have cherished coconut oil for its beautiful flavor, and it has widely been used in cooking throughout the world.

Looking for Coconut Butter or Coconut Cream?

Coconut Manna™ is creamy whole coconut that will delight people looking for coconut butter, coconut cream, coconut oil butter and coconut body butter. Coconut Manna™ is a delicious whole food, made of pure, dried coconut flesh which will “melt in your mouth.”

Why Choose Nutiva's Unrefined Coconut Oil?

What makes Nutiva's virgin coconut oil so special? Much of the magic lies in the way the oil is processed. Within several hours of the coconuts being chopped, the meat is cold-pressed, unlike other varieties of coconut oil which can be left for more than 10 hours before pressing. Nutiva's approach preserves as much of the oil's natural color, flavor and aroma, giving you the best results for any use.

Why Virgin Coconut Oil is Good for You

Unrefined coconut oil doesn't just taste better, it's better for you. With around 50% lauric acid content (an acid also found in mother's milk), it helps support a healthy metabolism and is being researched for its ability to protect against fungus, bacteria and viruses. The benefits of coconut oil's lauric acid are so strong, it is often added to baby formula to help infants develop strong and healthy systems.

Consider also the fact that Pacific Islanders long used coconut as a staple of their diets. Those who still subscribe to a coconut-rich diet display low incidences of heart disease or obesity. Those who switch to more "Western" ingredients, such as Omega-6 laden vegetable oils, often show a remarkable increase in these illnesses and other health problems.

Experience the Versatility of Virgin Coconut Oil

Of course, coconut oil can be used in other ways as well. Coconut oil is often used in skin creams and lotions for its ability to moisturize and nourish the skin. Whether you want a healthy replacement for vegetable and animal fat for your cooking, or are simply looking for better options in your daily skin care regime, choose Nutiva's unrefined virgin coconut oil.

With its healthy properties, excellent taste and beautiful aroma, unrefined coconut oil from Nutiva is the perfect solution.
