Lusha Organic Coconut Oil   (Scientific name: Cocos Nucifera)

For over 5000 years coconut oil has been used in tropical countries for their restorative and healing properties. Coconuts were so valuable that at times they were used as currency. People have used coconuts for everything from medicine, to food, to cosmetic purposes. Use of coconut oil can be found in Ayurvedic scriptures. The use of coconut oil in modern medicine has been lost over the years even though it carries numerous medicinal, nutritional, and functional properties.

Coconut oil is gaining popularity as a healthier alternative to polyunsaturated fats because it is structurally, physiologically, and behaviourally distinct from other saturated fats. Coconut oil is exceptionally rich in lauric acid, a rare saturated fat that sums to improve the composition of blood lipids and reduce the risk of heart disease. Researchers have found that consuming a type of saturated fat in coconut oil called MCTs, increase the number of calories you burn.

Lusha extra virgin coconut oil is unrefined, unfiltered, and in its natural form. It has a pleasant aroma, a pure white colour and tastes sweet.
