Apparently its the oil that makes this food such a remarkable medicine – some people even use it in their hair, specifically if its dry hair. As for the myth that coconut oil is unhealthy due to its oil content, we now know that the fat in coconut oil is unique and not harmful in any way to the body.

Add it to toast instead of butter, it gives such a great taste to your food : )
