Pure Virgin Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has been used for many years by Indian women as a nutritive source for hair as well as for conditioning. In the 1960s reports indicated that coconut oil was bad for human health resulting in the clogging of arteries but these reports failed to specify that they were referring to hydrogenated oil and not pure virgin coconut oil. For this reason people have been missing out on the beneficial effects of using pure virgin coconut oil as a food additive, for cooking food as well as a massage and body oil for dry and damaged skin. Today, Nutiva is changing the image of coconut oil and has been doing so since 1999. Nutiva believes in providing people with the healthiest products that are organic and non-GMO so that they can live long and happy lives. Artificial additives and products from genetically modified organisms have been known to have adverse effects on human health and so Nutiva's mission is to deliver nutritious superfoods to its clients so that they live happier and healthier and build a sustainable planet.

Nutiva's pure virgin coconut oil has a light taste, a pleasant aroma and a pure white color in its solid state as opposed to industrially manufactured coconut oil. This is the exceptional difference between Nutiva's pure virgin coconut oil and other commercially available brands. The secret is in its processing. Unlike other brands, Nutiva's pure virgin coconut oil is made using fresh coconuts and is cold-pressed within 2 hours of the coconuts being chopped. This process lends the unique taste, texture, aroma and color to the pure virgin coconut oil making it a pleasant smelling and visually pleasing product. The pure virgin coconut oil is highly nutritious and rich in medium chain "good fats" that are recommended by doctors. It is cholesterol and Trans fat free and contains only 1% of Omega-6 fatty acids. Lauric acid present in the pure virgin coconut oil supports healthy metabolism and is currently being studied for its health properties such as anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties.
