What it is

Coconut oil is a fat extracted from the kernel of mature coconuts. It is solid at room temperature in cooler climates but melts into a clear liquid when heated. It is often produced by pressing the dried coconut flesh (copra) or by wet milling.

Why it's used

Coconut oil is used as a cooking oil and a fat in baked goods, confectionery, and dairy alternatives. Its distinct flavor can add a tropical note to foods, and it can also act as a substitute for butter or other oils.

Health notes

Coconut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of saturated fats, which the FDA recommends limiting in the diet due to potential links to increased LDL cholesterol. JECFA has evaluated coconut oil and set an acceptable daily intake. Evidence on the health effects of coconut oil consumption is mixed, with some studies suggesting potential benefits and others highlighting concerns related to its saturated fat content.

Allergen info

Coconut is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is botanically classified as a drupe, not a tree nut.
