Review of Garden of Life Coconut Oil

Garden of Life coconut oil is a made from fresh, 100% organically-grown coconuts.

Garden of Life was founded by Jordan Rubin. Jordan is firm believer in the use of "whole foods" and whole food supplementation. This belief is what sets Garden of Life apart from many other supplement manufacturers. Jordan believes whole foods are more recognizable and usable by the body and contain co-factors not yet discovered by science.

This coconut oil is made from the meat of fresh, organically-grown coconuts. It is 100% vegetarian, non-GMO, not hydrogenated, refined, deodorized or bleached.

The fresh coconut meat is shredded and cold-pressed to produce coconut milk. The milk is then fermented, using very low heat, resulting in a nutritious dietary oil, just as Mother Nature intended.

Here's a picture of my bottle of Garden of Life coconut oil I bought at a local organic food store. It's got the older label on it but it's still the same brand. I think it's a good quality coconut oil.

Although Garden of Life calls their coconut oil 'extra virgin', I don't think it's any better than other high quality virgin organic coconut oils, such as Spectrum Coconut oil or Nutiva Coconut Oil.

This oil has a nice creamy texture to it and has the trademark scent of freshly picked coconuts. Like all virgin coconut oils, it makes a great substitute for butters, margarine or shortening in baking and sauteeing. It also makes a great skin and hair conditioner. Read some testimonials from people who've used coconut oil for hair conditioning.

This coconut oil is certified organic by Quality Assurance International, an organization of the United States Department of Agriculture that provides organic certification to farmers and other food producers/providers.
