CULINARY

Virgin Coconut Oil is used like any other vegetable or olive oil.

  • Cooking or frying anything from eggs, meat or vegetables to pancakes or crumpets. Virgin Coconut Oil gives of a unique aroma when heated, reserved use of seasoning allows the tasty nutty flavour of the oil to remain in the dish; while well seasoned dishes disguise the slight coconut flavour of the oil. The cocnut flavour disappears completely when used to cook most foods, but lingers pleasantly when cooking mildly flavoured products like mushrooms.
  • For a healthier option when baking or making deserts, substitute vegetable and olive oil with Virgin Coconut Oil.
  • Virgin Coconut Oil is perfect for use when roasting vegetables.
