    What is coconut oil?

    It is a versatile edible oil extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts, which typically involves methods such as cold pressing or expeller pressing.

    Coconut oil is renowned for its distinctive coconut aroma and flavor, making it highly versatile in cooking. It is also prized in cosmetics, skincare, and hair care products for its exceptional moisturizing properties.

    To store coconut oil correctly, place it in a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is also effective for maintaining its solidity and extending shelf life, which is particularly beneficial in warmer climates.

    Why use coconut oil in recipes?

    Coconut oil is highly valued in cooking for its versatility across methods like frying, baking, and sautรฉing, making it a versatile substitute for other oils or butter, and a natural dairy-free alternative.

    It also provides health benefits, including offering quick energy and potentially boosting metabolism thanks to its unique medium-chain fatty acids. Additionally, it adds a subtle, pleasant coconut flavor that enhances both sweet and savory dishes.

    How to use coconut oil for baking?

    You can use coconut oil in either its solid or liquid form, depending on the baking recipe. Substitute it for butter or vegetable oil in a 1:1 ratio. If your recipe requires melted butter or oil, gently melt the coconut oil until it becomes liquid.

    It serves as a healthier alternative in cookie recipes such as almond flour shortbreads. I particularly enjoy its irresistible flavor when combined with almond flour, a staple in many almond flour recipes.
