consumer whether or not the oil is made from genetically modified
plants. Today, make the choice to get rid of your vegetable oil and
start using organic coconut oil.
Organic coconut oil, on the other hand, is non-GMO and completely
natural and pure. It is used worldwide as a staple cooking oil. While
most people would consider it to be just another vegetable or seed-
type oil, it’s truly a marvel. From a cooking perspective, it has a very
high smoke point (the temperature at which the oil breaks down and
burns), making it versatile, even for cooking at high temperatures.
Also, its unique chemistry and fat composition keeps it from
oxidizing when heated, whereas other oils start to degrade and
essentially become toxic as they warm. Some even start to degrade
at room temperature! Using an unrefined organic coconut oil
gives you a great health boost, and you can even use it for unique
desserts.
You can find organic coconut oil at most health-food stores, as well
as online.
