History
Tree of plenty, tree of heaven
Coconut palms are far from just an exotic gem seen on the beaches of holiday catalogues. As far back as ancient Asian cultures these Trees of Plenty, Trees of Heaven were dedicated to the deity of the time and coconuts were used in religious rituals. [1]
As early as 4,000 years ago
Unbelievably, coconut oil was already being pressed 4,000 years ago. Even then, it was used both internally and externally as an effective remedy for dry skin and hair therapy. In tropical, sun-drenched regions, it was an absolute necessity. [2]
Functional food with exceptional properties
For its exceptional properties, coconut oil has been one of the leading functional foods on the market for decades [1,2].
Origin and cultivation
Oily flesh
The coconut tree is a notoriously attractive palm that lines the shores of tropical rivers and seas. The resulting coconut oil is extracted from the flesh of their ripe fruit, the coconut.
Fractionated
Fractionation is a simple process involving refrigeration of the coconut oil and separation of the solids which are thus formed. Fractionated coconut oil retains its liquid consistency even at normal refrigeration temperatures. [3]
Composition and properties
Caprylic acid, capric acid
The triumph of fractionated coconut oil is the medium chain fatty acids it contains, hence its other name MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides). The unique nutritional properties of the oil are mainly due to the caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) acids, which are present in the highest quantities in the oil.
Naturally clear, pleasantly soft
Due to its unique composition and processing method, MCT fractionated coconut oil is naturally clear. It has a surprising, pleasantly mild taste.
Full of available energy
The great advantage of MCT, fractionated coconut oil is its easy absorption and digestibility, which is due to its high content of medium-chain fatty acids. It thus represents a quite exceptional source of readily available energy. [4]
Use
In fruit salads, smoothies and protein drinks
For its naturally delicious taste and melting consistency, fractionated coconut oil is a suitable ingredient for fruit salads, smoothies and protein drinks. In short, you can add it wherever its delicate taste is desired.
