VCO is the oil extracted from coconuts without the application of heat. Virgin coconut oil is extracted from coconut milk obtained from fresh coconuts. Thereafter, using processes such as fermentation, churning, refrigeration, and the act of enzymes, the oil is separated from the water or moisture. At Nisarga AGRO industries, utmost care is taken to ensure that the kernels and the raw material I.e. the coconut milk, are not subjected to heat or sunlight, throughout the whole process. Some still think that VCO is artery clogging fat.... thanks to an anti saturated fat and anti tropical oil publicity campaign in the mix 1980’s. Not all saturated fats are the same. Fats can be divided into 3 categories, depending on how long their molecule chains are. There are short, medium and long chain fatty acids. The short and medium chain fatty acids are beneficial to health. Virgin coconut oil consists mainly of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) Many of the VCO benefits can be attributed to the presence of Lauric Acid, capric acid and caprylic acid & of course there antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti fungal, and anti bacterial properties help explain why VCO is used to help boost the immune system.
