Coconut oil
Summary
Refined coconut oil is a stable cooking oil with a high smoke point, making it suitable for high-temperature cooking. The refining process removes impurities and flavor, resulting in a neutral taste. While it contains beneficial medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), the refining process slightly reduces its nutritional profile compared to unrefined versions.
