Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is one of our favorite ingredients as it is incredibly versatile to give a creamy consistency a variety of foods, such as banana ice-cream, hummus, kefir cheese, and vegan nut cream cheeses. Besides the gourmet touch it adds to these foods, it is also has great nutritional properties! Here they are:

2. A natural antibiotic.
3. Reduces inflammation.
4. Studies have shown that coconut oil can prevent cancer from developing.
5. Contains lauric acid, which is known to reduce candida.
6. Improves digestion and metabolism.
