Description

Origin 

Organic MCT Coconut Oil is made exclusively from organically grown coconuts in Sri Lanka. Through a gentle physical fractionation process, selected medium-chain triglycerides are concentrated to produce a clear, neutral-tasting oil that remains liquid even at cooler temperatures.

Ingredients

MCT stands for Medium-Chain Triglycerides, a type of fat naturally found in coconut oil. MCTs are more rapidly metabolised than longer-chain fats and are popular among people following keto, low-carbohydrate and active lifestyles.

Kokonati Organic MCT Coconut Oil contains naturally concentrated:

• C8 Caprylic Acid: 55–70%
• C10 Capric Acid: 29–45%
• C12 Lauric Acid: <3%
• C6 Caproic Acid: <2%
• C14 Myristic Acid: <2%

100% cold-pressed virgin coconut oil that has been molecularly distilled by a physical process to extract only the medium-chain triglycerides. MCT oil is also sometimes called Fractionated Coconut Oil. No preservatives. No stabilisers. No additives.

How to Uses

For energising smoothies, bulletproof coffee, stir-fries, baking, and raw foods. Use in place of other oils for everyday cooking.  Apply lightly on the skin, scalp, and hair for conditioning and moisturising.

Flavor

Neutral taste and free of any aroma.
The aroma particles are removed by a purely physical process: molecular distillation.

Storage

Kokonati organic MCT coconut oil is handy, as it remains a clear liquid even at 0 degrees Celsius. Raw and also heat-stable, it remains light and safe to use inside and out.

Keep airtight in the pantry, away from sunlight and damp. With a best before of two years from the manufacture date, coconut oil remains safe to use for even longer periods as long as it is stored with minimal exposure to light, air and moisture. This is why Kokonati MCT oil is packed at the origin, in the very plantations from which the coconuts are harvested.

Packaging and disposal

250ml glass bottle, 1Liter in a safe-to-ship food-grade pouch & 5 Litre, 20 Litre food-grade plastic cans. A light warm soak or a run under the hairdryer will remove the labels, which are biodegradable and can be composted or disposed of in the garbage bin. If not reusing the containers, clean the recycled bottles and plastic cans, then dispose of them in your recycling bin. In our home, we reuse packaging as much as we can. See ideas here!

Our promise

There is nothing else. No hydrogenation. No trans fats. This product supports the traditional livelihoods of villagers in Sri Lanka’s rural coconut triangle. 100% zero-waste: all by-products and waste materials from our coconut oil products are utilised in the manufacture of other nature-friendly products. See how. Our product is internationally accredited by Control Union; Certified Organic (EU and USDA NOP), ISO and/or HACCP certified.

Benefits

A coconut has more naturally occurring minerals and phytonutrients than any other seed or nut used for extracting oil. This is why coconut oil has many advantages over other oil sources. Comprised of approximately 64 per cent medium-chain fatty acids, virgin coconut oil is considered a functional superfood. MCT coconut oil is a further concentrated natural distillation of virgin coconut oil, containing 100 per cent medium-chain fatty acids. So it is like concentrating the goodness of virgin coconut oil by removing any long-chain and short-chain fatty acids. MCTs are metabolised by the liver into energy or Ketones (brain fuel). Especially in the absence of glucose to produce ketones (think Keto diets), the liver easily metabolises MCTs to produce the ketones that fuel the brain.

MCT composition of Kokonati MCT oil:
C8 Caprylic acid 55-70%
C10 Capric acid 29-45%
C12 Lauric acid <3%
C6 Caproic acid <2%
C14 Myristic acid <2%

Beyond its nutritional benefits, MCT coconut oil also has healing properties that support health and general well-being.

• Rich in plant-based good fats, MCTs are easily metabolised into energy and ketones rather than being stored as fat.
• Support weight goals by promoting healthy metabolism; increasing fullness that leads to reduced food intake, and also optimising digestive health by supporting good bacteria in the gut.
• MCT oil has 10% fewer calories than other foods that contain long-chain acids like olive oil, nuts, and avocados
• Instantly boosts energy levels  and enhances athletic performance by reducing lactate buildup and increasing fat-burning
• Supports thyroid function
• Keeps the skin and hair youthful, smooth and healthy
• MCT oils have been researched and shown to improve brain function, which can benefit people with epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, and autism
• Caprylic and capric acid have antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial activity and have been proven to treat common yeast and disease-causing bacterial infections.
• Reduces insulin resistance to manage blood sugar levels
• MCT oil may help reduce risk factors associated with heart disease: weight, cholesterol, and inflammation

100+ years of coconut expertise

Our Coconut Oil is made by a third-generation coconut miller, an engineer by profession, who has fine-tuned the process to extract the highest-quality coconut oil, backed by generations of coconut expertise. Modernised and certified to ISO and organic standards, the mill plays a vital role in the welfare and well-being of the village community. The children of our workforce receive school books and stationery for the entire school year! The mill also operates a not-for-profit brick and tile factory and a metal workshop that provide work for the villagers, building materials for the community, and keep the factory equipment ship-shape! Staff quarters are also provided for those who travel far from home. What’s more, we even grow our own organic vegetables onsite so the factory kitchen can provide a wholesome, healthy lunch buffet for all at work.

Price for quality

Our oils are not mass-produced in vast industrial-sized factories. So we do not enjoy the economies of scale that supermarket brands do. We pay the millers and farmers a fair price. Specifically, batch-crafted for New Zealand, Kokonati products are made with multigenerational expertise and knowledge to be of the highest quality, so they easily justify the premium price for the premium quality you are getting.
