DEVOTION Coconut Oil, is an edible oil extracted from the kernel or meat of matured coconuts harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). It has various applications in food, medicine, and industry. Because of its high saturated fat content it is slow to oxidize and, thus, resistant to rancidification, lasting up to two years without spoiling. Many health organizations advise against the consumption of high amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat.
