Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil
What it is
This is pure coconut oil that has not been refined, bleached, or deodorized. It retains the natural flavor and aroma of coconuts. It is solid at room temperature and melts into a clear liquid when heated. This type of coconut oil is derived from dried coconut kernels.
How people cook with it
It is a versatile cooking fat that can be used in a variety of sweet and savory applications.
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Making homemade granola
- Roasting nuts
When baking, it can often be substituted for butter or other oils. It will impart a subtle coconut flavor to your baked goods. In savory cooking, it works well for stir-frying or pan-searing. Because it has a relatively high smoke point, it is suitable for medium-heat cooking. It melts easily, so measure it in its solid or liquid form depending on the recipe's needs. It can also be used in place of butter on toast.
How it differs from similar foods
Unrefined coconut oil differs from refined coconut oil by retaining its natural coconut scent and taste. Refined versions are typically odorless and flavorless, making them more neutral for cooking where a coconut profile is not desired.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who appreciate natural flavors and ingredients will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It does not require refrigeration. If the temperature is warm, it may liquefy, but this does not affect its quality. Simply let it solidify again at room temperature.
