Coco Loco Organic Raw Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 1 x 300ml

Product Information

It goes without saying that if you don’t like coconuts, you won’t like coconut oil because it does add flavor and scent to whatever you use it in, and that sets it apart from other cooking oils such as vegetable oil. It’s also worth seeking out brands that protect animal welfare to ensure no monkeys are used in harvesting the coconuts. You’ll see some are labelled as “ extra-virgin”, while others simply describe themselves as “ virgin”. In reality, we couldn’t distinguish any difference. Ultimately, both describe an unrefined product, in its purest form. This oil is for the ultimate coconut lover as it certainly has a strongly coconutty flavour – which may sound obvious, but some coconut oils don’t have such a rich taste. It lives up to being a 100% raw organic oil and oozes that sun-drenched tropical freshness as soon as you twist the top off the jar. Benefits:

Coconut oil contains a similar number of calories to olive oil, making it a great alternative oil when you’re after a fruity, nutty taste. It may go from solid to liquid depending on the temperature when it’s stored, but this has no effect on the taste or nutritional value. What kind of coconut oil is healthiest? It could be deduced from this table that the oil with the least environmental impact is palm oil, due to its high yield and low amounts of fertilisers and pesticides used. There is some truth in this, and its high yield is one reason, alongside its versatility, why it has been favoured by so many companies. Water, Coconut Oil (24%), Modified Starch (Modified Potato Starch, Modified Corn Starch, Modified Tapioca Starch), Potato Starch, Sea Salt, Pea Protein, Natural Flavourings, Acidity Regulator: Lactic Acid; Olive Extract, Colour: Beta Carotene; Vitamin B12.Coco Loco is vegetarian and vegan friendly. It has been cold pressed to preserve its optimum nutritive profile and health benefits. It also means it is not refined, processed or deodorized. Taste: Use it in place of butter or shortening in baked goods (I find the coconut flavor nicely complements chocolate brownies or pumpkin bread) The many claims to remarkable health benefits have been met by statements that coconut oil may not be a healthy choice, largely on account of its high saturated fat content. In 2018, Karin Michels, an epidemiologist at the Harvard TH Chan school of public health, said in a lecture that coconut oil was “one of the worst things you can eat” and was as good for your well-being as “pure poison.” Aside from cooking, coconut oil is also versatile enough to use in your beauty routine, with many using it as a lip balm, hair mask or cleanser. How we test Whether used for frying, baking, roasting or spreading, coconut oil is a versatile kitchen staple. The Good Housekeeping Institute put 18 of the leading brands to the test, to see which delivered the most superior taste. Best coconut oil 2021

Coco Loco possesses a strong fragrance which I think makes this coconut oil too good solely for your diet alone. Make yourself smell great I say, and smooth the oil onto your skin as well. I have used this product for quite some time and I love how many things it can help – I’ve even seen some small stretch marks practically disappear. Coconut oil absorbs a bit deeper than other moisturisers so it’s bound to help those little imperfections that need the graceful touch of mother nature. Because it is natural and organic, it’s super safe for pregnant women to use for stretch mark prevention too, plus you smell exotic which can invoke inspirations or memories of your best tropical summer vacation days! Fertilisers are generally used for all crops but are relied upon least in the production of coconuts and palm fruit. The production of coconuts and palm fruit also requires extremely few pesticides. This explains why organic coconut is so widely available. With all that said, I don’t buy coconut oil often. That’s because while it’s trended among health-conscious consumers in recent years, nutrition experts have concerns about its high saturated fat content, which raises bad LDL cholesterol levels along with raising good HDL cholesterol levels. If you use coconut oil, though, virgin coconut oil is best, and that is what Aldi sells.

All of the coconut oils we tested are organic, meaning no unnecessary chemicals or pesticides were used to grow them, and they are also all suitable for a vegan diet.

Other cosmetic benefits of using coconut oil include: as a hair conditioning treatment, dry scalp treatment, soothing skin irritations and oil pulling/teeth whitening, this does work as I’ve been doing it with Coco Loco and my teeth turn out white and shiny. Value: When it comes to oils for cooking and food preparation, Aldi has a good variety. I use a lot of olive oil in my kitchen, along with some extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, and occasionally avocado oil or peanut oil. One type of oil that exploded in popularity a few years ago is coconut oil, and Aldi sells that, too.

The Verdict:

Olive production generally uses a notable amount of pesticide, but this figure is relatively low in comparison to the amount used in the production of rapeseed and sunflower oil. Organic rapeseed and sunflower oils are available but are less common than organic olive or coconut oils.
