What it is

Organic cold-pressed virgin coconut oil is an edible oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts (Cocos nucifera). 'Virgin' indicates it is minimally processed, often from fresh coconut, and 'cold-pressed' means it is extracted without high heat, helping to preserve its natural flavor and nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add coconut oil to foods primarily as a fat source, contributing to flavor, texture, and mouthfeel. It is commonly found in baked goods, cereals, and non-dairy products, and is also popular for cooking and baking at home.

Health notes

Coconut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is high in saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025-2030 advise keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. While some research suggests potential benefits, other studies indicate that its high saturated fat content can raise LDL ('bad') cholesterol levels. The overall effect of coconut oil on heart health is a topic of ongoing scientific study.

Allergen info

Coconuts are considered a tree nut by the FDA for labeling purposes, making coconut oil a major allergen.
