Coconut Oil is a versatile plant-based edible oil extracted from the kernel or meat of mature
coconuts (Cocos
nucifera). Depending on processing methods, it is available in two primary commercial
grades: Virgin Coconut Oil
(VCO) (cold-pressed, retaining a rich natural coconut aroma and flavor) and Refined,
Bleached, and Deodorized
(RBD) Coconut Oil (processed to yield a clear, neutral-tasting liquid with a high smoke
point).
