Higher Nature Omega Excellence Organic Coconut Butter - 400g Spread

Unlike vegetable oils, Coconut Butter is one of the safest and healthiest cooking oils, because it is heat-stable and does not create toxic trans-fats when heated. It is perfect for baking, stir-frying, roasting and sauté cooking.

As it is specially deodorised, it has all the benefits of coconut oil without the coconut taste and aroma. When used straight from the fridge, it's a great alternative to butter and margarine for spreading on bread, toast and crackers.

Coconut oil is rich in medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily digestible, as they do not need bile to break down. MCTs are an excellent source of energy and can even be used as part of a weight management programme - dieters and athletes prefer coconut oil for this reason.

MCTs are made of lauric, caprylic, capric and caproic acids. Coconut Butter contains 41-56% lauric acid, known also to possess antimicrobial properties, and 3-15% caprylic acid, known also to contain anti-fungal properties. Coconut Butter also contains myristic acid, used in metabolism for the stabilisation of cell protein. It also contains the Omega 6 essential fatty acid linoleic acid and the Omega 9 fatty acid oleic acid.

Unlike saturated fats, like butter, coconut oil doesn't raise cholesterol levels. In fact, Polynesians who use coconut oil daily are known to have low cholesterol levels. And, unlike margarine, coconut oil contains no toxic trans-fatty acids or easily-rancified polyunsaturated oils. Omega Excellence Organic Coconut Butter is non-dairy.

Organic Coconut Butter is packaged in specially-made opaque, recyclable PET tubs, which help protect the oil against harmful UV light and oxygen.
