What Is Virgin Coconut Oil

  • 11 years ago
What Is Virgin Coconut Oil? Firstly, virgin coconut oil is extracted from coconut while the coconut is still fresh. It means the coconut used for producing virgin coconut oil must be freshly plucked or harvested coconut. Normally, the plucked coconut is processed within 24 to 48 hours. Anything longer than that would not be considered fresh. This condition for virgin coconut oil production is vastly different from normal coconut oil, also known as RBD coconut oil.

In the market, you will also come across name which includes the word ‘Extra’. What do they mean by extra? Does it mean better quality than virgin coconut oil? I believe that is what the marketer is trying to imply to the consumers. Is that really so? Extra virgin coconut oil is more superior than virgin coconut oil?
