What Is The Best Coconut Oil To Buy? Refined Vs Unrefined, Extra Virgin Or Virgin?
Sall was in the store the other day to
grab some coconut oil all they had was
refined organics so I decided to
purchase it the first thing I noticed
while eating it was that it didn't have
any scent or flavor after doing some
research I found out that the scent and
flavor is removed but before it's
removed the coconut oil has to be
extracted the label on the bottle says
that the coconut oil is extracted
mechanically through an expeller press
during this process coconuts are chopped
up and put through a machine and
mechanically press to extract the oil
another grade of oil can be made using
the leftovers from the first press once
the coconut oil is extracted it is then
refined bleached and deodorized to
remove the flavor and scent
this is why the coconut oil I purchased
didn't have any taste other methods of
extracting coconut oil is through
centrifuge and cold press in centrifuge
extraction fluids of different densities
are separated this leaves a light
coconut flavor made from freshly pressed
coconut milk cold-pressed coconut oil is
pressed from coconut flakes and it's
left for the oil to naturally separate
from the coconut protein and milk both
centrifuge and cold-press extractions of
coconut oil are considered raw if you
want to see more of how the extraction
process is done there will be links in
the video description below so what is
the difference between unrefined and
refined coconut oil while refined
coconut oil is bleached and deodorized
this is mainly for people who want to
cook without the scent and flavor of
coconut because it has been refined it
can usually withstand slightly higher
cooking temperatures before reaching its
smoke point most refined coconut oils
are made from copra culprit is the dried
kernel or meat section of the coconut it
can be made by smoke drying Sun drying
kiln drying or a combination of the
three once you dry it the coconut oil is
extracted from the copra
things to consider when buying refined
coconut oil is that it will be a lower
quality oil since it's been processed
with unrefined coconut oil it is closest
to its natural state extracted to keep
the highest amount of nutrients it is
labeled as extra virgin or virgin and is
considered to be the best grade of
coconut oil keeping its scent and taste
the oil is extracted within 24 to 48
hours upon the picking from the coconut
tree and uses fresh coconut and not
copra what about extra virgin and virgin
well unlike olive oil there is no
significant difference an extra virgin
or virgin when it comes to coconut oil
olive oil has specific guidelines when
it comes to different grades of oil I
already did a video about olive oil and
you can check that out links in the
video description below so the benefits
of coconut oil is that it has healthy
fats it lowers your cholesterol you can
cook with it at medium to high
temperatures there are plenty is your
skin and hair having plenty of vitamin E
and you can use it for oil pooling to
clean out your mouth and teeth if you
aren't able to find high-quality coconut
oil in your local store you can
definitely find some online check out
the reviews and find one that fits for
you remember for high grade coconut oil
make sure that it is labelled extra
virgin or virgin that the oil is
extracted through cold press or
centrifuge and made with fresh coconuts
and not copra this is suwanee from
