Virgin Coconut Oil & Fractionated Coconut Oil

[Guest guest]

Hi J .. and Sharon and other good folks ..

 

First to Sharon .. you asked if the short term sale on Virgin Coconut

was a good deal. It is hard to say because I don't know that company.

They claim that it normally retails for $170.00 a gallon .. and now

they are selling it (till Sunday) for $85.00 a gallon .. and you get a

gallon free. But .. $85.00 X 2 = $170.00 .. and the price of $85.00 a

gallon is not a bargain in any case. Considering that you will get 2

gallons for $85 ($42.50 each gallon) then I will say that price is not

bad IF it is a quality Virgin Coconut.

 

> I too, get really confused over which virgin coconut oil is the one we

It is the one and only Unrefined Virgin Coconut (Cocos nucifera) that

you should be using for food.

 

> The ones in the grocery store are liquid, the stuff we bought thru a

> coop was white/hard...

 

The one you got through the co-op was the right one .. it should NOT

be liquid at room temperature .. Fractionated Coconut is liquid at

room temperature.

Probably many folks have it .. I do .. I have both the Coconuts .. at

Virgin Coconut (Cocos nucifera)

 

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is the most versatile of all vegetable oils.

As a saturated oil, it is extremely stable with an almost indefinite

shelf life. It is rapidly metabolized by the body and is an excellent

source of energy. It is rich in lauric fatty acid (>48%).

 

VCO is an excellent cooking oil that enhances the flavor of many foods

and bakery items, such as biscuits, cookies, pastry, etc. VCO is

great in protein shakes, broiling, salads and popcorns. It is one of

the safest, most effective natural body moisturizers available. Uses

are aromatherapy, soap, body/massage oil, and pre-shampoo moisturizer

(adds sheen and prevents dry hairs, or a hard cuticle treatment.

 

Fractionated Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera)

 

VCO is solid at room temperature but Fractionated Coconut Oil remains

in a liquid state. Its a popular carrier oil. We have used

Fractionated Coconut oil on Alexander since the day he was born ..

over his entire body. One can eat it if they want .. it is Food

Grade. But it is not going to taste nice like the Unrefined Virgin

Coconut.

 

Some facts on Fractionated Coconut Oil:

 

1. Liquid down to very low temperatures.

 

2. Never goes rancid .. indefinte shelf life.

 

3. Absorbs readily into the skin .. great for massage.

 

4. Washes out of clothing with no staining.

 

5. Smooth skin with no greasy feeling.

 

6. Colorless, Odorless

Here is the wipikaedia on coconut oil, it has a good explanation and many

internal links to help get to the deeper understanding of the oils.
