What is Organic Virgin Coconut Oil?
One of the first questions that would come to your mind when hearing about Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is, what is so special about it? The main answer is, it is the natural, unaltered form of coconut oil. It carries all the goodness of the coconut oil as if it was just obtained from the fresh coconut. To ensure this, it is extracted using the dry processing method and expelling with rigorous temperature control, keeping it under 550C. But this is the general answer. When it comes to Ranre Foods’ Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, there are some other factors that make this oil ever so special for your well-being.
First of all, it is the source of the main ingredient. All the coconuts used in Ranre Foods’ coconut oil production come from Sri Lanka. The positioning of the island in the Indian Ocean and the isolation from the Eurasian continent allows it to inherently produce an ecologically clean harvest. Pair it with the unique soil, water and climate conditions present on the island, and you get amazingly flavourful coconuts with higher fat content than elsewhere. Moreover, only fresh, matured coconuts are used. This already produces Organic Virgin Coconut Oil with unique taste profiles that enrich any dish you use it in.
But the uniqueness of this oil does not end just there. The strict quality control in production with filtering, gum removal and moisture control produces clear oil in its liquid form. At temperatures below 230C, it turns into a clean white colour mass. In either form, it continues to emit that fresh, slightly dry coconut aroma with a pure coconut taste that does not have even a hint of a sour taste.
All these characteristics make this oil your best choice for salads and garnishing. Thus, it enriches and highlights the freshness of the other ingredients while subtly blending in the coconut tones. While for those preferring least processed food, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil can be used for low heat prolonged cooking. Or it can be a way to improve your baking. Either way, you will enjoy tonnes of freshness and hints of coconut in their fragrance.
Is there any nutritional value in the Organic Virgin Coconut Oil?
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is almost made out of 100% of fat. The majority of the fat is made out of MCTs (medium-chain-triglycerides), which are easily digested, and a small amount of monounsaturated fat. Free from cholesterol, it also does not contain any protein or fibre. Nevertheless, it is a great source of quick energy, where one tablespoonful of oil contains about 126 calories. Some amount of vitamin E can also be found.
What are its benefits?
The oil is abundant in lauric acid along with other MCTs, such as caprylic and capric acids. They are necessary for the proper functioning of our bodies. These are believed to play an important part in controlling the functioning of the immune system and protecting the liver from toxins. Moreover, MCTs are believed to carry such benefits as:
