Organic Coconut Oil, cold-pressed, 100ml, Dragon Superfoods

Coconut oil is a product obtained from the fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), found mostly in the tropics. It is obtained from the inner fleshy part of the coconut, which is called copra. The process involves grating and drying the coconut meat and carefully pressing it at a low temperature and filtering. The resulting product is high-quality, unrefined, unbleached coconut oil, which has retained all its beneficial qualities.
