Health Benefits of Coconut Oil:*
Coconut Oil is truly one of nature's gifts—widely used as a food product and skin moisturizer. Coconut Oil is unique as it contains antiviral, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties. Health-conscious individuals prize coconut oil for its extremely high flash point (the healthiest oil for cooking), zero trans-fatty acids, and extremely rich source of Medium-Chain Fatty Acids (MCT's)—which are broken down efficiently by the body, providing an immediate source of energy. It contributes a fresh, exotic flavor to any dish.
Coconut oil is Nature’s greatest source of medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). MCFAs, unlike other oils, are easily digested and completely broken down to individual fatty acids which don’t circulate the bloodstream to the degree that other fats do, but instead are used in the liver as a source of fuel to produce energy. Also, because they are so easily digested, they contribute to the absorption of other nutrients such as fat soluble vitamins (e.g. vitamin A,D,E,K, and beta carotene).
The fatty acid content of coconut oil is: Caprylic (C8:0) 7.8 %, Capric (C10:0) 6.7%, and Lauric (C12:0) 47.5 %. Recent studies and testimonies have provided evidence to the vast health benefits in regards to increased energy and metabolism, weight management, thyroid function, antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal, properties of these fatty acids.
Because coconut oil is a natural saturated oil it is highly resistant to peroxidation and rancidity. The antioxidant role of coconut oil makes it very important in cancer prevention and treatment.
What is so spectacular about Cocopura Coconut Oil?Flavor: Entices with a sweet “coconutty” aroma. Boasts a delicate flavor so subtle that it is the perfect companion for any cuisine.
Production: Our certified organic virgin coconut oil is produced from freshly pressed coconut milk which undergoes centrifugation to separate the oil from water and solids. This method prevents fermentation and does not use high heat. The vital nutrients are carefully preserved – oil is never subjected to temperatures above 115 °F. Our oil is considered "biologically pure" as the process occurs in completely a sanitary lab facility that is FDA certified and Organic certified.
Close to the Source: We source Coconut Oil from Mexico, as they are the closest producer to the U.S. This cuts down on the carbon footprint of transportation and ensures a fresher product.
Freshness: Our Coconut Oil is made to order, especially for Cocopura. It is extracted on site at the organic coconut plantation. (In comparison, much coconut oil is produced from coconuts that have molded in long-distance transportation to production facilities.)
Packing: Our Oil is hygienically packed on site at the plantation, locking in vital nutrients and preserving the fine quality.
Packaging: We use only the highest quality recyclable PET plastic which is non-chemically-leaching (8 oz and 28 oz), clear flint glass (14 oz), and non-leaching 1gal & 5 gal HDPE buckets.
Our Commitment: Cocopura is a division of Vivapura: Pure Superfoods for Life - committed in every aspect to providing the most vital, socially responcible, environmentally sensitive and respected products available. We deliver our motto . . . Raw. Organic. Ethical.
