Navitas Naturals ~ Virgin Coconut Oil

NOVATO, Calif.—Navitas Naturals introduced Virgin Coconut Oil, which is unrefined, virgin and low temperature centrifuge-pressed. Coconut oil is a cholesterol-free source of healthy plant-based saturated fats, and it features an abundance of medium chain fatty acids (MFCAs) – most notably lauric acid. Among the many benefits of MFCAs are long-lasting energy, increased metabolic rates, and anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. Centrifuged coconut oil contains virtually no polyunsaturated fat, and it has approximately half of the undesirable mono-unsaturated fats compared to conventional coconut oils. Navitas Naturals Virgin Coconut Oil is produced amongst the coconut palm farms of tropical Mexico. Fresh coconuts are sustainably harvested and then shelled, chopped, and quickly expeller pressed into a coconut milk, while never reaching more than 115 degrees. The milk is then passed through a chilled centrifuge to separate the “skim” coconut milk from the fat. This raw, kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and 100 percent organic product has only one ingredient – virgin coconut oil.
