If coconut oil isn’t already a staple ingredient in your kitchen, it will be after making this caramel slice from the coconut guru herself, Brynley King. Author of Going Coconuts, Bryn is all about eating clean and living green. Her family have been growing and producing organic Banaban Extra Virgin Coconut Oil in Fiji for the past 10 years (Bryn’s father Ken is an indigenous Banaban Pacific Islander). The family promote native-made products and help support the local communities on the island through their farm. Conscious coconut oil and guilt-free dessert? We think that’s a pretty killer combo.
Coconut oil is full of Medium Chain Triglycerides; these fatty acids are a great source of energy and can contribute to maintaining and lowering cholesterol levels, boosting immunity, improving bone health and enhancing brain function. And on top of all this, you can use coconut oil for almost every other purpose you can think of (here are a few of our favourite ways). Our ambassadors Nick and Josie even put it in their coffee! Seriously, what can’t coconut oil do?
