This is only made up by sellers of the extra virgin coconut oil to impress on buyers that they have higher quality of coco oils.  Do not be fooled for you might pay more for it but receive the same coconut oil benefits you get from those virgin coconut oils without the extra name.

 

Meanwhile, here are uses of coconut oil and the best coconut oil that is suitable for specific purposes:
 
1.) For your cooking and food needs, you should use the refined coconut oil extracted from the dried coconut meat or copra.  The refined coco oil is also called the refined, bleached, deodorized (RBD) oil.  This type of oil has a higher smoke point which makes it appropriate for cooking because it does not burn when high level of heat is utilized.  Its solidified counterpart, coconut butter, is used in making popcorns because it can withstand the level of temperature needed in popping the corns.

In addition, the RBD oil does not contain bad cholesterols that are present in the usual cooking oils in many households today and this means lesser risk of heart and weight problems.

Virgin coconut oils can be used as a good sweetener for smoothies and shakes.

 

 

Fractionated oils are also good for foods like desserts and as shortening like margarine and butter.  The small amount of long chain fatty acids in coconut oil are completely removed in the process of fractionation, thus, making it safer than hydrogenated oils.

 

Hydrogenated oil, most of the cooking oils used nowadays, should be avoided because the process of hydrogenation creates trans fatty acids that increase the risk of coronary heart disease.

 

2.) As a syrup or food supplement, the best coconut oil is the organic virgin coconut oil.  According to the studies of nutritionist, Dr. Bruce Fife, an average person needs three to three and a half tablespoons of virgin coco oil a day.  Regular intake of coco oil will boost metabolism, increase energy levels, and can prevent or may cure obesity.

3.) As beauty products, virgin coconut oil or raw coconut oil are still the top choices of coconut oil.  Raw coconut oils condition the hair making it healthier and shinier.  Coco oil has antimicrobial and antifungal properties, so, when applied, there will be decreasing possibility of shedding dead skin cells on the scalp also known as dandruff.

Virgin coco oils make the skin smooth and soft for a longer time.  Commercial lotions primarily contain water that are easily evaporated upon heat and wind exposure.  Oils do not easily dry out your skin and will prevent premature wrinkling. To add, coconut oil for skin is an effective sunscreen.

Now you have learned the different types of coco oil for particular uses.  Just list down all these and you will not have a hard time shopping for the best coconut oil.
