Is Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil Bad for Deep Frying?

No – No -No

You have confused virgin coconut oil with virgin olive oil. Virgin olive oil is made up of 80% unsaturated fats, which break apart during heat, and it is risky to deep fry with virgin olive oil since it can form carcinogenic compounds when breaking apart.

Virgin coconut oil, MCT coconut oil, normal coconut oil, all the types of coconut oil are made from 90% saturated fats, which do not break apart even in high temperature deep frying at levels of 200 degrees Celsius. So they keep stable even when deep frying, making it super safe to deep fry with virgin coconut oil, mct coconut oil and normal coconut oils.

What is Raw Cold-Pressed? and What is Virgin Coconut Oil?

The term “Virgin” is used to emphasize that, all nutrients in a nut is preserved when it is converted to the format of oil. For example if leafy greens or veggies are cooked components like vitamins, anti-oxidants, are lost and the nutrition percentage of each nutrient is a bit altered. Thus, if an oil (coconut, olive, avocado) is termed “virgin”, the original nut is “COLD-PRESSED” (Imagine squeezing out oil of a fruit or seed by hand or in Sekkuwa Chekku. There is no high heat generation). The nuts used for the pressing should also be fresh in its original form. It cannot be dried in sunlight for weeks (like in “copra”. When coconut flesh is dried in sunlight it is named as Copra), or heated with fire to take out moisture. So virgin coconut oil is RAW and COLD PRESSED to achieve the above qualities.

Since the brown testa is peeled off, to produce one liter of 100% white kernel extra virgin coconut oil it needs 14 fresh coconuts. In this the brown testa (“Kurutta”) is removed and only the white flesh is used. But in whole kernel virgin coconut oil, the entire kernel is used. So it needs only 10 fresh coconuts to produce liter of oil. Because in the surrounding brown peel it has considerable amount of coconut oil.

What is Low Glycemic Index (GI) Coconut Sugar?

Glycemic Index (GI index) is a number that indicates the effect of a food on human blood sugar levels. Fruits such as mango, grapes, kiwi and pineapple have a GI of 60-65, and that kind of a food would rapidly increase blood sugar levels.

When we consider Sri Lankan traditional sweeteners “Coconut” and “Kithul”, the GI index is at mid ranges of 50. It means that, a sweetener like Coconut, Kithul would give the sweet delight to human senses and mind, but it will not rapidly raise blood sugar levels, when comparing with refined white sugar.
