How to tell good quality Coconut Oil?
The first thing ti look for is an ORGANIC Premium Virgin coconut oil. Opposed to cold pressed, expeller pressed or refined, bleached and deodorised oil. Not all oils claiming to be ORGANIC are organic. How can you tell? Ask for their certification number. If in doubt contact trading standards or Defra. Illegal claims to organic status, selling inferior oil is detrimental to the whole industry. The less processing a natural food undergoes, the higher the quality.
Essence Of Eden Premium Virgin Coconut Oil is made from fresh coconuts without heat or chemicals. That way it retains more of its natural phytonutrients, which give coconut its distinctive aroma and flavour. However not all Virgin Coconut Oils are of the same quality. So, the second test is to check the appearance. A good quality oil will be pure white when solid and clear liquid when warm, no gray patches. Nor will it need to be stored in a cooler. The third test is the aroma and flavour. It should have the light delicate fresh of a coconuts not sour, smoked or moldy nor very strong coconut taste. And lastly the cost. You get what you pay for.
So in summary
- Source.
- Apperance.
- Taste and Aroma.
- Price.
