Coconut oil and coconut fat are one and the same<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creamy, white coconut fat becomes a clear oil when heated above 26 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut oil has been used as a food and medicine from the very beginning. Ayurverda (Indian medicine) has known the therapeutic and cosmetic properties of coconut oil for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to the high-calorie, high-cholesterol, long-chain, saturated animal fats in meat and dairy, coconut oil is a saturated fat with mainly medium-chain fatty acids, which can be converted into energy quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people who suffer from poor digestion - benefit from eating coconut oil instead of other oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut oil contains caprylic, capric, lauric and myristic acids. They all have antiviral, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut oil contains no cholesterol and no trans fatty acids and even helps to lower cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut oil can be used in many ways, some examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

- You can use it as a spread (on bread). Very suitable for people who do not want \/ are not allowed to use butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Use a few teaspoons for baking. Use it for meat, vegetarian burgers, fish, fried egg, potatoes, pancakes and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- The wok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Frying is also possible, of course. This way you ensure healthy fries, something that many children love! If you keep the fat clean, you can safely use it several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- As a basis for massage oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Delicious as a bath oil (just add a tablespoon to the warm water).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
