What it is
Coconut oil is extracted from the flesh of mature coconuts. Virgin coconut oil is made from dried coconut kernels that are pressed to release the oil, without using high heat or chemical solvents. It is a solid at room temperature but melts easily.
Why it's used
Coconut oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in baked goods, confectionery, and dairy alternatives. Manufacturers use it for its flavor, texture, and ability to add richness to foods.
Health notes
Coconut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily saturated fat, and high intake of saturated fat can raise LDL cholesterol levels. The WHO and other health organizations recommend limiting saturated fat intake. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI).
Allergen info
Coconut is not considered one of the major allergens by the FDA. It is a tree nut botanically, but not a true nut and does not typically cause reactions in people with tree nut allergies.
