Among all the edible oils- coconut oil is considered the healthiest for its immense nutritional value and benefits. To elaborate the term \u2018cold press\u2019, it is a technique where no mechanical heat is used to extract the oil so that the oil can retain natural goodness, aroma, essential nutrients and of course the flavor of fresh coconut. Cold pressed oil is gaining its lost value nowadays because it was very common to us in the past and somewhere got lost in our craze for refined & defined commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often we get confused between cold pressed coconut oil and virgin coconut oil; here you need to know that cold pressed coconut oil is gathered from the kernels of dried coconut, usually dried in the sun. Whereas the virgin coconut oil is extracted from the fresh coconut milk and left to settle down.\u00a0 The fresh coconut is grated finely first, then the milk is extracted from it and kept aside to settle down. It forms three layers; the uppermost layer is of curd, middle one is oil layer and the bottom most is water layer. The oil is taken out after separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both cold pressed and virgin coconut oil bear the same energy value and flavor. One tablespoon of any of the oils contains 117 calories and 13.6 grams of total fats of which 11.8 grams are only saturated fat. The good part of coconut oil fat is its medium chain triglycerides that our body uses as energy, but the risk of cardiovascular diseases remains low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
