For cenfuries the coconut tree has been called "the tree of life." Virtually every part of it can be used or consumed. In Sanskrit it is called kalpavriksha or "tree of heaven." Kirkland Signature Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is cold pressed and never chemically treated during production. Because it is processed in this gentle and low heat manner, all the natural flavour, aroma and benefits are retained. Coconut oil is versatile in food preparation. Use as a substitute for butter on toast or in your favourite baking recipes. It makes a flavourful alternative for popping corn and is ideal for sautéing vegetables over medium heat. (Hint: To reduce unwanted sweetness, add a dash of salt.) Add to your morning smoothie for natural sweetness and body. Coconut oil works wonderfully as a moisturizing body butter. Due to its chemical makeup, it is readily absorbed into the skin and has a naturally sweet and clean aroma. Ingredients: Organic virgin coconut oil (100%). Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
