Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil

Nutiva coconut oil is an extra virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil.

Nutiva garnered attention in the late 1990's when they introduced the first hemp food bar to North America. At the time, not many people knew about the extraordinary nutritional value of hemp foods. As the company grew, they added organic cold-pressed hemp oils, hemp protein powders, nutritious power bars, and their trademark extra virgin organic coconut oil.

Nutiva coconut oil is made only from fresh coconuts. It is certified organic and uses non-genetically modified coconut crops.

Open up a jar and you'll find the oil pure white just like fresh coconuts. The oil tastes very fresh and it has a delicious fresh coconut fragrance.

Nutiva prides itself on using only the freshest coconuts. They claim to wait no less than 10 hours between chopping the coconut and pressing the oil. They believe this gives you the freshest healthiest tropical oil.

Some lesser quality coconut oils are made from copra - pieces of coconut that have been left to dry out in the sun for days. The meat is then scooped out and sent to mills where it's oxidized, bleach and deodorized.

Nutiva believes there's no comparison between their nutritious and flavorful, cold-pressed, organic virgin coconut oil with these highly processed industrialized oils.

I have to agree with them. I've tasted many virgin coconut oils and I found Nutiva organic coconut oil to be smooth, light and very creamy. It has a really clean healthy flavor.

Nutiva claims their virgin coconut oil provides up to 50% lauric acid. This medium-chain fatty acid is found in mother's milk and it supports a healthy metabolism. It's now being studied for its anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Learn more about lauric acid and coconut oil right here.

Here's more reasons why I like Nutiva's coconut oil:

• Certified organic and non-GMO
• Made from fresh coconuts, not dried copra
• Cold-processed - no heat is used that may potentially damage the fatty acids in the oil.
• Unrefined
• Chemical-free
• Unfermented & unbleached
• Undeodorized & unhydrogenated
• Has a pure white color like fresh coconuts
• Tastes like fresh coconut
• Has a fresh coconut fragrance

You can get this coconut oil in a variety of sizes. It comes in 15 ounce, 29 ounce and 54 ounce jars. You can also get 1 gallon and 5 gallon jugs.
