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.

Too soon to tell...
I ordered Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil because it fit the description I was looking for being both Organic and Extra Virgin coconut oil. I also wanted to try this product first because they offer their product in larger sizes...also at good prices.....so if I really end up liking this one I know I have the option of buying a more bulk-size product. I have not dove into this product yet though and that is why I rated it at a 3. I am not expecting it to be disappointed...but I cannot give it a 5 if I have not used it yet!! (3 is alright because the 3 stands for just the fact that it IS coconut oil and I like the product in general...) :-)
Pros

Quality & Price
