When cooking, this oil can be used as a direct substitute for butter or other cooking oils. It is excellent for high-heat cooking like stir-frying or searing meats. In baking, it can add a subtle coconut flavor to cakes, cookies, and muffins. For a quick addition to smoothies, simply add a spoonful. It can also be used topically as a natural moisturizer for skin and hair, applied directly or warmed slightly before application.
How it differs from similar foods

The unrefined type is also often preferred for its perceived natural qualities.

How to keep the rest
Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It will solidify at cooler temperatures and liquefy at warmer temperatures. This is a natural characteristic and does not affect the quality of the oil. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
