• Coconut oil – great for your skin, one of the best anti-candida foods, highly recommended for weight loss and essential in most Raw Food un-cooking.
Coconut oil is another miracle of nature. Incredibly even though it is a fat, coconut oil actually assists weight control by promoting the body’s ability to burn unwanted fat and has even been shown to lower levels of bad cholesterol. It is the highest source of saturated medium chain triglycerides (MCT) of any naturally occurring vegan food source. Furthermore around 50% of these MCT’s are made up of lauric acid, the most important essential fatty acid in building and maintaining the body’s immune system. Apart from coconut oil, the only other source of lauricacid found in such high concentrations is in mother’s milk. These medium chain fatty acids are more digestible and much more stable than any other fat. In fact unlike any other oil it can be left at room temperature for a year and doesn’t go rancid! Consuming it on a daily basis will do miracles to your skin. In addition it has remarkable anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties and for this reason is a powerful ally in the fight against candida. Coconut oil is also being used by thyroid sufferers to increase body metabolism. Coconut oil is a must for any vegan diet!!!
Processing: Wet milling or wet method extraction involves expeller pressing the
flesh of fresh coconuts into a pulp, forming a coconut milk emulsion.
The processing temperature is kept below 25 degrees to maintain the
nutritive quality of the butter. The coconut milk emulsion is then
chilled to approximately 10 degrees. Cooling the emulsion weakens the
protein bonds assisting the oil and water to separate during
centrifugation. This process allows for greater oil quality and yield.
