Product Description

Size: 16

Jarrow FORMULAS® Organic Coconut Oil (Cocus nucifera) is expeller-pressed from the dried flesh (copra) of the coconut palm fruit, and does not utilize any solvents in the manufacturing process. Coconut oil is a rich source of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), such as lauric acid (C-12) and caprylic acid (C-8). Coconut oil is stable even during long periods of storage. Because its melting point is 75-76° F, coconut oil can be used in both liquid or solid forms. Its neutral flavor makes it ideal for use in cooking and baking.

Unrefined oil is not processed, bleached, deodorized and stripped so I will always pick that over the refined, but I must admit that I don't use coconut oil for cooking, I use it on my skin and hair! Although this oil has a very high smoking point, I am always worried about the true health benefits. Coconut oil may be associated with atherogenesis (disease affecting arterial blood vessels) so I choose to use for the topical benefits rather than ingesting it.

I have learned from my boss who is form India, the secrets to her lovely shiny hair, and it's simply about warming up some coconut oil. I spoon it out if it's solid into a small glass bowl and microwaving for about 15 seconds then massaging my hair and scalp then tying a bun and letting it soak in for as long as I can ( anywhere between 15 minutes to hours or even overnight) then shampooing out with a clarifying or non moisturizing shampoo. Usually one shampoo is enough, sometimes if I have extra oil on the hair I shampoo again and then condition as usual.

The sheen, bounce and manageability is incredible, I have never been as impressed with a product for the hair as with this simple treatment. The oil is inexpensive and lasts forever and the results are simply dazzling. For those with dry and fried hair, colored, tired or simply hair that needs a deep treatment this is heavenly. Even fine hair that has never been abused can benefit for it.

I use this as often as I can, but once a week is sufficient, although the way the hair feels after is addictive and I can never wait to do it again.

This coconut oil is really good stuff, and for the price you can't beat it. Good for substituting for vegtable oil or butter in recipes and great on toast. And best of all it is good for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price!, August 26, 2008

The flavor and quality are excellent. It is not too strong of a coconut flavor so it works in many foods. The price was so low compared to other brands. I almost gave up using coconut oil because it was becoming three times the price of organic butter (the only two "safe" high-heat cooking oils according to my Naturopathic Doctors). After shipping it is just a bit more than organic butter! Now my 10-year-old son makes popcorn with half coconut oil and half butter that exceeds theater popcorn! My 12-year-old daughter says it tastes great and I have used it as the only moisturizer on my face for two years in our hot, dry climate. I am a satisfied customer!
