Coconut
is consumed (domestic) in the three major forms in
the origins i.e. as a natural milk extracted from
the kernel of the fresh coconut for preparation of
confection and con-confection, in the form of oil
for both edible and non edible uses and the young
coconut as natural beverages . Coconut oil which
consists of 48.2% of lauric acid has a special place
in the spectrum of vegetable oils. Recent research’s
in health indicate a far greater nutritional and
medicinal value to coconut oil as a source of medium
chain triglycerides and monoglycerides than in
presently known in presently known in popular market
even in developed countries . Due to its intrinsic
value , Bruce Fife N.D in U.S.A , the author of “
The Miracle of Coconut Oil” wrote “ If there was an
oil that you could use for your daily cooking needs,
that helped protect you from heart disease, cancer
and other degenerative conditions, improved your
digestion , strengthened your immune system, and
helped you lose excess weight , would you be
interested? That is what coconut oil can do for you.
The oil from coconut is unique and provides many
health benefits obtainable from no other source”.
Coconut oil has been called the healthiest dietary
oil on earth.
