virgin coconut oil
Cold-pressed palm fruit
Virgin coconut oil is coconut oil extracted from fresh coconut meat without chemical processing or high heat, preserving its natural flavor and aroma.
The "virgin" designation distinguishes it from refined coconut oil, which undergoes bleaching and deodorizing.
It's popular in cooking, skincare, and hair care: I use virgin coconut oil for frying because of the coconut taste.
