100% Organic Unrefined Extra-virgin Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is an edible oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts. "Extra-virgin" and "unrefined" indicate that it has undergone minimal processing, typically through mechanical means, to preserve its natural flavor and nutritional components.

This oil is commonly used as a cooking oil for frying and baking due to its high smoke point and distinct flavor. It also serves as a fat source in various food products, including confectionery, baked goods, and plant-based alternatives.

Coconut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is notably high in saturated fat, and the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. The health effects of saturated fats, including those in coconut oil, on cardiovascular health have been a topic of ongoing scientific research, with some studies suggesting varied impacts depending on the specific fatty acid profile. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, and as a common food ingredient, coconut oil is not subject to their additive evaluations.
