Benefits of coconut oil

Coconut oil is one of the most edible oils in the world. It is made from the wick, meat, and milk of coconut palm fruit.

 

Coconut oil is a white solid fat, melting at warmer room temperatures of about 25° C (78° F). During summer, when the temperature is higher, it appears as thin clear liquid oil.

 

Unrefined varieties have a distinct coconut aroma that many find quite pleasant in meals. It is used as food oil, and in industrial applications for cosmetics and detergents production.

 

Due to its high levels of saturated fat, numerous health authorities recommend limiting its consumption as food.

 

Coconut oil, whether used alone or as part of body oil, lotion or scrub, leaves a silky feel and keeps the skin smooth, elastic and hydrated. Thanks to its medium-chain fatty acids and proteins, says skincare expert Margaret Weeds.

 

As a result of its molecular -structure, it is easily absorbed. A study published in an international journal of dermatology showed that pure virgin coconut oil helps to decrease water loss in people with atopic dermatitis.

 

To keep the skin flake-free, it is important to lavish the body with products that have an ingredient such as coconut butter.

 

For dry skin problems, it is advised to apply pure virgin coconut oil. This oil appears as a solid at room temperature but melts when applied to the body, due to the normal body temperature, say experts.

Mahc Coconut Oil liquefies at around 23°C and keeps fresh at ambient temperatures for up to two years! This makes it perfect for summer use on boats, camping, caravan or beach. To keep solid on hot days, we advise to store in the chilly bin with ice or a fridge.

 

Warm Vegetable Salad: Cut a variety of vegetables into quarters or long strips, brush with Mahc Coconut Oil, add Rosemary & a generous grind of pepper & salt, bake for 15-20 minutes at 165°C, remove & toss the vegetables, then add green vegetables such as beans & broccoli and bake for 15 minutes. Serve warm with tossed green salad and Barbeque meat or fish.
