Coconut oil is a versatile, edible oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts. It has a rich texture, mild coconut flavor, and a high smoke point, making it suitable for cooking, baking, and frying. Besides its culinary uses, coconut oil is also popular in skincare and haircare due to its moisturizing properties and potential health benefits. Rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and lauric acid, coconut oil is believed to support heart health, aid digestion, and promote skin and hair health. It is a staple ingredient in many cuisines and a common component in natural beauty products.
