Organic Certified Crude Coconut Oil
The Crude coconut oil is produced by processing the dried coconut meat or copra.
It is hammer-milled to small granules and then mechanically pressed to extract the
coconut oil. The product after extracting the coconut oil from the copra is called
Crude Coconut Oil.
Copra contains about 65% to 72% oil, and oil made from the copra is called Crude
coconut oil. Crude coconut oil is processed from copra by expeller press. It is not
considered fit for human consumption until it has been refined. The remaining oil
cake obtained as a by-product is used for livestock feed.
Coconut oil accounts for approximately 20% of all vegetable oils used worldwide.
Coconut oil is used in margarines, vegetable shortening, salad oils, confections,
and in sports drinks to boost energy and enhance athletic performance. It is used
in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, shampoos, cosmetics, glycerin, candles,
and synthetic rubber. Coconut oil is very healthy.
Crude coconut oil is normally processed further to produce different products for
specific uses.
