Refined Coconut Oil
Description
Refined coconut oil is made from dried coconut meat (copra) and undergoes processing to remove impurities, color, and odor. This results in a neutral-flavored oil with a higher smoke point, ideal for high-heat cooking. While it lacks some nutrients found in virgin coconut oil, it still contains beneficial fatty acids like MCTs.
