PART 2 https://youtu.be/QJf_xDH1OR8 PART 3 https://youtu.be/NPWNPRARMgo Coconut oil has a wide array of health benefits, hair and skin uses, and purposes around the home. If you’ve been keeping track of the latest food fads and trends, you’ve probably noticed the rapid widespread popularity of coconut oil. In this video, we’re delving into the uses of benefits of coconut oil like never before – so be prepared for a huge list of everything you can do with this understated oil. Before jumping into our list, we’ll quickly cover the different types of coconut oil you might see available – and which is best to use. • Unrefined Organic Coconut Oil Unrefined coconut oil offers most of the benefits listed in this video. It’s extracted from fresh coconut using a wet-milled fermentation process that protects the beneficial properties of the coconut. This type of coconut oil has been found to have the highest antioxidant levels. • “Extra Virgin” Coconut Oil Extra virgin coconut oil is produced by cold-pressing the oil and doesn’t preserve the antioxidants as well. • Refined Coconut Oils Refined coconut oil is often tasteless and has no coconut smell. It’s usually heated, bleached, and deodorized. Healthy options are available but many refined coconut oils don’t have the benefits of unrefined. • Fractionated Oil or MCT Oil Fractionated oil or MCT coconut oil is a liquid oil that doesn’t get solid below 76 degrees like unrefined oil does. It doesn’t contain all of the beneficial properties of unrefined coconut oil but it’s higher in brain-boosting fats. What Type to Use? For external uses, expeller-pressed, fractionated or other types of refined coconut oil will work, but for internal use, an unrefined organic oil is best. So, are you Ready to learn some of the best benefits and uses of coconut oil? Let’s get started! Lets first look at the Uses for Coconut Oil in Cooking and Recipes 1. As a cooking oil Coconut oil is a great cooking oil, and is most unique for its high content of the saturated fat lauric acid, which makes up around 40 percent of its total fat content and gives it a high smoke point. This makes coconut oil particularly suitable for high-heat cooking like frying. It is also great for baking, or as a dairy free replacement to butter. 2. Added to smoothies You wouldn’t normally think to add coconut oil to your morning smoothie, but it’s a great complementary flavour, and will help to give you energy that lasts throughout the day. You can combine coconut oil with almond milk or coconut water, banana, pineapple, strawberries, vanilla, oranges, and even kale and cucumber for a tasty, healthy-fat beverage. 3. As a homemade coffee creamer Coconut oil works particularly well as a coffee creamer, and serves as a better alternative to shop-bought creamers that most likely contain a whole host of unnecessary ingredients, including palm oil. Simply mix coconut oil with raw honey, cinnamon powder and pure vanilla extract to add a delicious creamy kick to your hot drink. 4. Added to homemade mayo Commercial mayonnaise contains high polyunsaturated fats which are a type of fatty acid. The primary issue with this is that they are highly unstable and can cause oxidation, which leads to free radicals, the nasties responsible for skin ageing and cancer. Coconut oil is a much healthier oil alternative to add to your homemade mayonnaise, and it tastes better, too. 5. To season cast iron skillet pans When you’re cooking with a cast iron skillet, it takes seconds to add a little extra flavour to your food by seasoning with a cast iron skillet. Simply pour about 1 teaspoon of warmed coconut oil into the skillet. Then, using a clean, dry cloth or paper towel, rub the oil into the surface of the skillet, making sure to coat the bottom and sides thoroughly. 6. To boost metabolism Coconut oil has been shown to boost metabolism and even improve athletic performance thanks to its high lauric acid and MCFA content. Studies suggest that the way MCFAs, or medium-chain fatty acids, are digested by our stomach, it helps boost metabolism and increase energy. Lauric acid is rapidly metabolized and is and is an important energy source for the brain, heart and muscles. 7. For healthy snacking You can use coconut oil in a variety of no-bake healthy snack recipes, and is often combined with the likes of organic peanut butter and raw honey to produce an all-natural nutritious pick-me-up. Take a look at raw coconut oil fudge, snack balls, chocolate bark and granola bars, all of which are much healthier than the majority of snacks you can buy from the supermarket.
