Good morning from sunny Australia..it's Saturday morning here..

some info on COCONUT.....really sorry if you already know..which I'm sure there plenty of you...I have 7 coconut products in my pantry..

Oil, flaked, desiccated, shredded, cream, milk, nectar-sweet from the coconut tree flower.....and Amino sauce-savoury...I wouldn't go any other way ..too healthy...and sooo very yummy too..

Coconut-superfood and friend

Coconut is the Paleo enthusiast’s best friend (or at least one of them). Unlike most tree nuts, coconut does not contain omega six fatty acids.  Instead, coconut is rich in Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), a very special “short”-chain saturated fat (unlike the longer saturated fatty acids typically found in animal fat).  MCTs do not require bile salts for digestion.  They diffuse passively from the intestines into the blood and do not require modification before being used as energy for your cells.  They are metabolized very easily and, because they are a fat and not a sugar, they can be used by your cells for energy without a spike in your insulin. Also, because MCTs are a saturated fat, they do not oxidize easily or produce free-radicals.  Coconut oil is very stable and will keep at room temperature for very long periods of time.

    Good morning Christine in wonderful Oz, I too love coconut water & use coconut oil for numerous things, but not many people seem to have heard of its greatness yet.
