coconut oil benefits

This oil, since it became popular, has been all the rage, and it is one of those oils that once you try it, you fall in love with it. I have been an unconditional fan for quite some time, so when I found it this summer, in the supermarket that I usually go to, and until now, it was hard to find it, unless it was online, I couldn’t resist bringing it home.

About 50% of the fatty acids are lauric acid. Others are myristic, capric and caprylic acid. They all give the oil its antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

One of the first things that surprised me is its smell. Absolutely all the coconut oils that I had used to date, did not have a coconut smell, but this one smells really good, exactly like the coquitos that they sell for Christmas, this is also a reason to lower the price, not being a deodorized oil, it is a process that does not happen, and therefore does not influence the final price.

coconut oil for the skin

Coconut oil (or coconut butter) is an edible oil derived from the wick, meat and milk of the fruit of the coconut palm. Coconut oil is a white solid fat that melts at ambient temperatures of about 25°C; in warmer climates, during the summer months, it is a clear, liquid oil. Unrefined varieties have a distinct coconut aroma. It is used as a food oil and in industrial applications for the production of cosmetics and detergents. Due to its high levels of saturated fats, numerous health authorities recommend limiting its consumption as a food.

In July 2016, results of a survey in the United States showed that 72% of people believed coconut oil was healthy, but only 37% of nutritionists agreed.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of a day’s calories. This means that someone eating a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet should eat no more than 20 grams of saturated fat each day.

how much coconut oil to take per day

Above I mentioned that this coconut oil from Mercadona is also suitable for food use, although I can’t say much about this, since I have only tried it 2 or 3 times. It gives an interesting touch to dishes, but I didn’t want to try it too much lest I get too fond of it, which with coconut oil is not recommended to overdo 😉

Actually all of the above is applicable to any extra virgin coconut oil. In this respect, Mercadona’s coconut oil is not very different from others, but there is one thing in which it certainly stands out: its practically unbeatable price: 4.5 euros for a 450ml bottle.
