A Deliciously Healthy Cooking Oil. Better than Butter
The Coconut Oil Myth
Coconut oil was once mistakenly considered unhealthful. The fact is, this oil is cholesterol-free and rich in the medium-chain "good fats" doctors recommend. Why is it that baby formulas often include coconut oil? Because coconut is one of the world's most nourishing super foods. Nutritionists suggest enjoying up to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil each day, so help yourself to this creamy taste of the tropics.
Nutiva's cold-pressed coconut oil is:
Extra-Virgin & Pure White: Not refined, deodorized, or bleached!
Organic: So it's free from pesticides, GMOs, and hexane.
Versatile: Ideal as a high-heat cooking oil (up to 350 F), as a nutritious substitute in baking, as a "better-than-butter" replacement on bread, vegetables, or popcorn, and as a luscious oil for skin care, hair care, and massage.
America Needs an Oil Change
While doctors suggest we consume a 4:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3, the average American diet provides a ratio of 20:1 or more--contributing the heart disease, skin disorders, and arterial inflammation. So avoid out-of-balance soy, corn, and canola oils with their trans fats, oxidation, and GMOs. Cook with coconut oil (with only 1% Omega-6), and use olive oil (also low in Omega-6), and hemp oil (with the perfect 3:1 Omega ratio) for unheated recipes.
