Health food company CocoEarth has launched a premium coconut oil product in liquid form.

CocoEarth claims the Liquid Coconut Premium Oil (LCPO) is an Australian first due to the fact it doesn't solidify.

“It extracts only the healthiest part of the coconut and doesn’t contain any chemicals or artificial ingredients,” the company states, adding that the expeller-pressed oil contains 1.5 times more healthy MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides) than regular virgin coconut oil, and is believed to provide an energy boost that can increase ketones and strengthen the immune system and metabolism.

The LCPO is considered easy to digest and has the antimicrobial component of lauric acid. It can be used for sautéing, frying, baking, dressing salads, and grilling.

CocoEarth’s products are sold in Woolworths and Coles, as well as selected health and independent food stores.

RRP is $9.90 for the 250ml bottle and $13 for the 500ml bottle.
