It's loaded with omega-3s and doesn't burn as easily as olive oil, making it perfect for cooking and baking.
Want to try? Use it in this recipe for Swanson 150 Watt Cookies to get a sweet little energy boost.

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
It protects against formation of damaging free radicals, and is also used to protect skin from blemishes, signs of aging or overexposure to sunlight. Coconut oil also keeps the skin’s connective tissues strong and supple.
Coconut oil offers a youthful appearance to your skin by removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, making the skin smoother.
It can even penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and strengthen the underlying tissues. It can be a factor in healing and repairing age-damaged skin — unlike most lotions.
Naturally, you want to choose a high-quality organic coconut oil free of chemicals, and without bleach or hydrogenation (which can irritate your skin), to experience its maximum benefits.
