The Benefits of Organic Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil:
Since the 1960s‚ coconut oil has been unfairly labeled as "unhealthy". The media reported studies of how tropical coconut oils were laden with potentially clogging saturated fats. What was left out of these reports was the fact that the coconut oil used in the studies was not the virgin oil used for centuries‚ but rather hydrogenated coconut oil.
They have since learned it's the hydrogenation—artificially adding a hydrogen molecule to oil in order to make it shelf-stable -- that's the problem‚ not the coconut oil itself. Hydrogenated soy‚ corn‚ and canola oils loaded with dangerous trans-fats and processed with toxic hexane solvents are routinely added to many packaged foods. Hydrogenation fattened corporate profits‚ as well as American waistlines.
Organic coconut oil is different. Baby formulas often include pure coconut oil as an ingredient because coconut may be a healthy super food. Virgin coconut oil is rich in the essential fatty acids‚ the "good fats" that may support overall wellbeing. Nutiva’s Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is also free of dietary cholesterol and trans fats.
Each container of Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil contains 15 fluid ounces of certified organic and non-GMO coconut oil‚ which is made from fresh coconuts as opposed to dried copra. It’s been cold-pressed and unrefined. You can use this chemical-free‚ unfermented‚ unbleached‚ undeodorized‚ solvent-free‚ and unhydrogenated oil while cooking to experience its benefits.
You can recognize where it comes from because of its pure white appearance‚ fresh fragrance‚ and taste—which are nearly identical to fresh coconuts. Unlike other brands‚ Nutiva doesn’t wait more than 10 hours between chopping the coconut and pressing the oil‚ which may adversely affect its flavor.
Nutiva provides an array of natural superfoods. It specializes in organic hemp‚ chia‚ and coconut oil.

Solid Coconut Oil!
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil by Nutiva is very good. With the market full of different qualities, it can be really hard to find a solid coconut oil. This one has a great taste and consistency. It is on par with Nature's Way coconut oil. If you like that brand, you will like this one.
Pros
-
Not bleached, great taste.
Cons
-
Nothing.

Most delicious coconut flavor I've tried
I have used Coconut oil for more than 25 years, for making all recipes better as well as for making my skin soft & supple! My love for its benefits go way back! Organic Virgin Coconut Oil by Nutiva is my favorite brand and I always get the larger glass jar, but since it was out of stock this time, I ordered the 15 oz. in a plastic container - two of them to be exact! I couldn't be happier! Still has that same great aroma, flavor and consistency! Not to mention that I got an amazing price! Less for 2 jars here at Pure Formulas than one jar at any other site! Very happy to have found them and I will be back soon! Thanks so much!
Pros
-

Cons
-
Nothing!
