Coconut Oil - Virgin and Organic

Coconut oil which has been used extensively in the Indian sub-continent for several centuries is now identified as a super product that can be consumed and applied topically. More and more experts are taking efforts to explain the health benefits of coconut oil. Unlike other food products, saturated fats in coconut oil prevent various diseases and promote good health of essential organs in the body.

Because of this reason, many people are interested in buying coconut oil. In the market, you can find several coconut oil products and some of them contain virgin label on them. You need to know he difference between ordinary coconut oil and virgin oil so that you buy the best product.

Normally, coconut oil is extracted from dried coconut meat which is called copra. This copra is obtained by drying fresh meat under sun or any other process. Drying process may catch harmful bacteria and fungi. Extraction of oil from the copra results in an impure coconut oil that cannot be used without refining. The refining process involves applying heat and other processes to the extracted coconut oil. After this process, you will get ordinary coconut oil with a bland taste and smell.

Virgin coconut oil is obtained from fresh coconut meat. The fresh meat is not dried using any method. In one method of extraction, oil is extracted from coconut milk in a natural way. Other methods quick dry fresh coconut meat and extract oil from it quickly. Sometimes, the oil may be heated to a very low temperature to remove all moisture. Virgin and organic coconut oil are obtained from fresh coconuts that are produced organically without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

Virgin and organic coconut oil contains fresh coconut taste and smell. The extracted oil need not be refined as the oil will be as clear as water naturally.

To get best health benefits, you have to buy virgin and organic coconut oil. All vitamins, minerals and other essential acids in coconut are maintained only when oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat. Ordinary coconut oil contains chemicals and other impurities that are passed on to the product during refining process. Unlike olive oil, there is no industry standard to qualify virgin coconut oil. Some companies even add extra virgin label which means nothing more.

When it comes to composition, ordinary coconut oil and virgin and organic coconut oil contain same components, but virgin oil contains something more and fresh.

When you buy virgin and organic coconut oil, you cannot expect any standard to define the oil quality. Though virgin oil should be very clear like water, most of the products will have some coloration due to the actual process used in the extraction of oil. To stay away from scams, buy products that are produced in the tropical areas in the world where fresh coconut is readily available. If the oil tastes and smells like fresh coconut, you can ensure that the virgin and organic coconut oil is real.
