How is VCNO different from other coconut oils found in stores?

FAQ VCO
When purchasing coconut oil, one must determine between "virgin" and "refined." The determining characteristic of virgin coconut oils is that they are made from fresh coconuts, and they have the distinct aroma and taste of coconuts present. Tasteless coconut oils are probably made from copra, not fresh coconuts. There are also some oils that are made from copra that are not fully deodorized and have a taste to them. But these oils are refined also, despite marketing claims.

Will cooking with Coconut Oil cause it to become hydrogenated and toxic like hydrogenated oils?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - Tropical Traditions
No. Hydrogenation is an industrial process where hydrogen molecules are introduced to the oil to make it solid at room temperatures. It chemically alters the oil and creates harmful trans fatty acids. Cooking with coconut oil does NOT introduce hydrogen into the oil or hydrogenate it. Coconut oil is a very stable oil even at higher temperatures. However, it is best not to cook beyond the smoke point of coconut oil, as this will begin to deteriorate the oil and turn it yellow.

How does Conuq Virgin Coconut Oil differ from other oils?

Conuq - Frequently Asked Questions
Virgin coconut oil is saturated oil, made up mostly of medium chain fatty acids. Other oils such as vegetable oils (corn oil, soybean oil, safflower oil) contain mostly long chain fatty acids, which are polyunsaturated. Olive oil and canola oil are classified as monounsaturated. These oils are processed by heating and hydrogenating, which in turn produces dangerous trans fats. Medium chain fatty acids make virgin coconut oil unique in terms of digestion and metabolism.

How different are these mats from the old coconut mat we have in front of the door at my house?

Entry Mats, Business Mats, Logo Mats & Various Other Persona...
Coir mats provide a distinctive look but do have drawbacks. Most of our mats use solution dyed nylon that is sealed into either SBR or Nitrile rubber. This prevents mat ‘shedding’, an all too common occurrence with coir mats. Also, coir mats discolor easily over time, either from sunlight or heavy use and are easily susceptible to mold. Our entrance and interior mats provide superior UV protection and won’t run or fade, even with heavy use.
