Medella's award winning culinary coconut cooking oil is a physically steam refined 100% natural premium coconut cooking oil which has no added chemicals, solvents or additives. Not hydrogenated means no trans-fats! Coconuts are harvested from non-cultivated plantations means the produce are 'Organic by Default'. Suitable for deep heat cooking and frying with neutral flavour and aroma. Flavour and aroma of coconut neutralised via filtering, no chemical processes or additives involved. Most of the fats that we consume take longer to digest, but MCFAs found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a 3 step process to be turned into fuel vs. other fats go through a 26 step process! Unlike long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) found in plant based oils, MCFAs are:
√ Easier to digest
√ Not readily stored as fat
√ Are anti-microbial and anti-fungal
√ Smaller in size, allowing easier cell permeability for immediate energy
√ Processed by the liver, which means that they are immediately converted to energy instead of being stored as fat
