Woodpressed Coconut Oil

Product Details

Made from 100% premium dry coconut kernels.

The Coconut Oil is extracted from premium quality dry coconut kernels called “khobra”. Oil is extracted using a wooden mortar and pestle machine applying wooden pressure. The temperature is kept below 50 degrees C and RPM less than 10 to avoid any heat generation. Whatever minimal heat is generated, is absorbed by the wooden pestle and not transferred to the oil. This helps the oil to retain its natural flavor, aroma, and nutritional profile. The oil is allowed to stand for two days to let the sediments settle down.

The obtained oil is thick, opaque, aromatic, and as natural as it can be. It is free from any chemical or heat treatment or any preservatives, unlike refined oils.

Nutrients : Polyunsaturated & Monounsaturated Fatty Acids, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Phytosterols

Health Benefits

1. Promotes Heart Health

Coconut oil is rich in healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can positively impact heart health. MCTs may help lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and supporting overall heart function.

2. Boosts Brain Function

The MCTs found in coconut oil can be metabolized into ketones, an alternative energy source for the brain. These ketones may enhance cognitive function, potentially improving memory and mental clarity, and offer a supportive role in managing neurodegenerative conditions.

3. Supports Weight Loss

Incorporating coconut oil into a balanced diet may aid in weight management. Research suggests that MCTs can help reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and boost metabolism, which may contribute to weight loss when consumed in moderation.

4. Exhibits Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Coconut oil contains various compounds with anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds can help mitigate inflammation throughout the body, potentially providing relief from inflammatory conditions and supporting overall health and well-being.

5. Enhances Skin Health

Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, coconut oil deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin. It helps reduce inflammation, protect against UV damage, and improve skin elasticity and texture, making it an excellent choice for maintaining healthy, hydrated skin.

6. Improves Hair Health

Coconut oil is a popular ingredient in hair care due to its moisturizing and strengthening properties. It can enhance hair shine, reduce breakage, and improve overall hair health by providing essential nutrients and hydration.

7. Boosts Immune System

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which has been shown to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. This compound can help strengthen the immune system by combating harmful pathogens and supporting the body's natural defenses against infections.

Usage

1. Cooking and Baking

Woodpressed coconut oil is perfect for high-heat cooking and baking due to its high smoke point. Use it for frying, sautéing, or as a replacement for butter in baking recipes. Its subtle coconut flavor adds a unique taste to dishes. Substitute coconut oil for butter or other oils in your recipes to enjoy a slightly sweet and tropical flavor.

2. Salad Dressings

Incorporate woodpressed coconut oil into salad dressings for a light, creamy texture and a hint of coconut flavor. Blend it with vinegar, citrus juice, or your favorite herbs and spices. Use 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil in your dressing recipe to enhance flavor and add a touch of richness.

3. Skin Care

5. Oil Pulling

Use coconut oil for oil pulling, a practice that involves swishing oil in your mouth to promote oral health. This method helps to reduce bacteria, improve gum health, and freshen breath.Swish 1 tablespoon of coconut oil around your mouth for 15-20 minutes each morning before eating or drinking. Spit it out and rinse your mouth with water.

8. Baby Care

Woodpressed coconut oil is gentle and safe for baby care. Use it to moisturize and protect your baby’s delicate skin, or as a soothing massage oil. Warm a small amount of coconut oil between your hands and gently massage it into your baby’s skin after bath time or as needed.
