Re: coconut oil
i wrote this company about if their virgin coconut oil was made of copra and this is what they wrote back
Copra is dried coconut albumen. It's the dried meat of the coconut.
The flowering of the coconut palm results in drupes, which are green fruit growing in bunches of 5 or 6 in the axils of the tree: each fruit in turn contains 5 or 6 nuts. The nuts are surrounded by a dense fibrous husk 5 to 15
cm thick, called the pericarp.
Under the husk, there is a very hard, thin brown kernel containing the albumen, a milky white liquid known as coconut milk, which is transformed into flesh as the fruit matures. This is the substance of which coconut, or copra, consists.
The coconut flesh is extracted and dried in the sun until it has lost most of its water content, which must must not amount to more than 6%, to obtain copra. There are two main marketable products made from copra: coconut oil and copra cakes. All coconut oils, whether classified as virgin or not, originate from the dried meat of the coconut.

Sold by weight. This is how coconut oil really and truly smells! When you take a whiff of this virgin, pure oil you will be mentally transported to a Caribbean or South Pacific island. This oil is processed by technology developed in Japan using a centrifuge and gravity. They harvest the coconut and the coconut milk is extracted by centrifuge with a density separator. Virgin coconut oil comes directly from the Fiji islands and we can attest to its purity and content. When solid it is white, when liquid it is colorless. It has the most intoxicating coconut fragrance.......its texture is soft-solid with a creamy texture while at room temperature. Use straight on the skin, as lip balm, to blend with other fixed oils and essential oils, in creams and lotions. For those who like to tan without any protection: this is it! Use as a sexual lubricant or all over body oil, massage into the hair for a truly moisturizing treatment prior to shampooing.....use your imagination. SAP value: 0.194.
this is the one i was looking at it said 100% virgin coconut oil
what do you think?
