VIRGIN COCONUT OIL
The determining characteristic of Virgin Coconut Oils is that they are made
from fresh coconuts, and they have a distinct aroma and taste of coconuts
present. Tasteless coconut oils are probably made from copra, not fresh
coconuts. There are also some oils that are made from copra that are not full
deodarized and have some taste to them. But these oils are refined also. You
will be able to taste the difference when comparing with a Virgin Coconut Oil.
There are many ways of refining coconut oil made from copra, some more
healthy than others, but Virgin Coconut Oils begin with fresh coconuts and do
not need further refining as their natural antioxidant properties make them
very stable oils.

ORGANIC EXPELLER PRESSED COCONUT OIL
Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil is a high quality refined
coconut oil that is certified organic. This oil is processed the "old" way by what
is called "physical refining." The modern way of processing coconut oil is by
chemical extraction, using solvent extracts, which produces higher yields and
is quicker and less expensive. Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil
DOES NOT use solvent extracts. It is made the "old" way by expeller-pressed
mechanical extraction. This oil is also NOT hydrogenated, and contains NO
trans fatty acids. Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil is made
from certified organic coconuts that have NOT been treated with chemicals or
fertilizers. It is certified organic according to European and USDA standards.
Our Expeller-Pressed coconut oil is high in the medium chain fatty acids, such
as Lauric acid. Expeller Pressed Coconut oil is less expensive than Virgin
Coconut Oil because it is machine made, and because it goes through a steam
deodorizing process the taste is very bland, unlike Virgin Coconut Oil which
retains the odor and taste of fresh coconuts. Some people prefer a bland,
tasteless oil. Virgin Coconut Oil is unrefined, and has a much stronger taste.
There are many coconut oils on the market today, and some of them are
labeled as "Virgin" even though they are mild or have no taste, because they
are mass-produced by machine.

ORGANIC COCONUT CREAM CONCENTRATE
Coconut Cream Concentrate is certified organic whole coconut meat in
concentrated form. It contains no additives (not even water). The dried
coconut meat is ground into a very fine powder, giving it a creamy
consistency due to its high fat content. Since it is 70% fat, it is a rich source
of pure coconut oil. Note: this is a food, not a cooking oil.

It is an excellent ingredient for cooking and baking. Because of its low
moisture content, it can be mixed right in the batter or dough of breads and
pastries. It can also enhance soups, be blended with smoothies, or made into
ice cream. Many people just eat it straight, or spread it on breads and
crackers instead of butter, because it is so delicious!
