Coconut oil is excellent for so many things...excellent! Words to look for when buying coconut oil:
100% (generally next to 1 of the 2 following descriptive words)
Organic
Virgin (Extra Virgin)
Cold Pressed
or
Expeller Pressed
Also I avoid "made from COPRA" on the label...if they even tell you that...and, if they do, it likely will be in smaller print and elsewhere on the label. lol
So, basically, look for "100% Organic Virgin Cold/Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil ("Not Made From COPRA")
There are a number of good brands...some like the taste of one over another, or can get a favorite in a local store, or even buy a favorite online. Tropical Traditions sells from their website, NOW can be purchased from Amazon.com, Nutiva, Spectrum...watch the labels on Spectrum...they are very similar and, even reading labels as I do, I had to exchange a jar because a 'wrong' kind for me was mixed into the 'right' kind for me display. lol There are other brands as well that are excellent...I cannot remember all those I have and/or will buy...and I do have my favorites as far as taste, creaminess, etc., go.
For info, an internet search will find tons of links, but you can start with
coconutoil.com...which is more about human benefits, but will give you a good overview at least.
