Description
- Coconut oil is a versatile oil to have around the home.
- While it can be used in cooking as it has high heat tolerance, higher than other commonly used cooking oils.
- It can also be used on the skin as a moisturiser.
- Coconut oil is a natural source of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) making it a must have for anyone following a low carb/keto lifestyle.
Coconut oil is primarily a great cooking oil because of its stability at high temperatures. When oils are heated, they begin processes of oxidation and polymerisation that can lead to harmful by-products such as aldehydes. The advantage of coconut oil is that it consists mostly of (healthy) saturated fats, which are more stable at high temperatures than mono- and poly-unsaturated fats. This makes frying with coconut oil a safer option.
