Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is the fruit of the coconut palm tree and, despite not being a Brazilian native species, it is well adapted to the country’s climatic conditions, justifying the broad range of food products obtained from it.
Traditionally used in Asia-Pacific countries, coconut oil was recently (re)introduced in Brazil, in the late 2000s.
Coconut is an important natural source of saturated fat, and its oil has one of the highest content of saturated fatty acids (over 90% of its composition), mainly lauric acid, increasing LDL-c and HDL-c levels.
It is a product obtained within an organic - or sustainable extractive - agricultural production system, which benefits the local ecosystem, protects natural resources, respects the local socioeconomic and cultural characteristics, preserves worker’s rights and does not use genetically modified organisms or synthetic chemicals (https://organis.org.br/o-que-e-produto-organico/).
