Melrose Organic Coconut Oil

Melrose Organic Coconut Oil

Melrose Organic Coconut Oil (butter) is a pure natural, virgin cold pressed Coconut Oil. This oil retains the natural aroma and flavor of coconut. Coconut supplies a lot of nutrients important for good health, fighting various diseases and supporting metabolism. Coconut Oil is the only oil not altered by heat.

Coconut oil does not raise cholesterol levels but is quickly metabolized into energy. It is high in Lauric acid.Once mistakenly believed to be unhealthy because of its high saturated fat content, it is now known that the fat in coconut oil is unique. It has no cholesterol and no dangerous trans-fats found in other oils. Coconut fats are processed directly in the liver without putting strain on the digestive system and are highly recommended for those who have difficulty digesting fats.

Coconut oil is effective in reducing body fat and lowering weight because it contains fewer calories than any other fat. For this reason, it has gained the distinction of being the world's only natural, low-calorie fat. When you use coconut oil in your food preparation, you can eat the same types of foods as you normally do yet consume fewer calories.

Melrose Organic Coconut Oil (butter) is certified organic and free from artificial colors, preservatives, gluten and GMO. This guarantees a fresh, delicious taste without any harmful additives, pesticides or herbicides.

Ingredients: 100% Coconut Oil

Hints and tips:

How much coconut oil should I take?

Researchers state that the optimal amount for an adult is between 3 and 4 tablespoons per day. It is best to use coconut oil three times a day at meal times. We recommend that you begin with a smaller amount and build up to the recommended dosage if necessary.


Does Melrose Coconut Oil need to be refrigerated?

No, it does not need to be refrigerated. It is solid at room temperature and liquid at body temperature. In colder climates, at least for most of the year, the oil is solid. It can be made liquid by standing the container in a pan of warm water - never microwave! The natural antioxidants give it a very long shelf life. Store out of direct sunlight.

What's the best way to use Coconut Oil?

Coconut oil cannot be destroyed by heat, therefore it is an excellent oil to use whenever high temperatures are needed, such as stir frys. Since it is stable cooking oil, you can simply replace unhealthy oils in the diet with it. Being solid most of the time at room temperature, it can be a butter or margarine substitute for spreads or for baking. Any recipe calling for butter, margarine, or any other oil can be substituted with it. Many people simply eat it by the spoonful.


Coconut oil can also be massaged into the skin for external applications and is often used as an ingredient for home made cosmetics
