Coconut oil from the company Nostos Pure, which comes from the flesh of the coconut fruit. It is rich in fat, with approximately 90% being saturated. It also contains vitamin E, no protein, dietary fiber, and cholesterol, as well as small amounts of other vitamins and minerals. It has a high content of saturated fatty acids, the main one being lauric acid, which has been associated with reducing "bad" cholesterol (LDL). It can also be used as a cosmetic, as it enhances skin hydration, gives shine to hair, and improves oral health. Due to its saturated fatty acids, it helps burn body fat. It reduces appetite and creates a feeling of fullness, resulting in long-term weight loss. It increases levels of good cholesterol (HDL), which is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases.
It is ideal for cooking as it is extremely stable at high temperatures. For frying or sautéing, you can use 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil to cook vegetables, eggs, meat, or fish. It can also be used in boiling to cover poultry or meat before adding seasonings.
It is a product of certified organic farming, where no pesticides or chemical fertilizers have been used during their cultivation.
Finally, it is cold-pressed, which means that during its preparation, no heat has been added, but the extraction of the oil has been done using high pressure. This way, the oil does not lose any of its nutrients.
