The fatty oil obtained from the coconut and used in candies and confections and in cosmetics.
Coconut oil is extracted from the meat of the coconut, while coconut milk is made from the flesh of the coconut mixed with water. Coconut oil is mainly used for cooking and skincare, while coconut milk is often used in cooking and baking as a dairy alternative. Coconut oil is high in healthy fats and is good for moisturizing skin and hair, while coconut milk is rich in vitamins and minerals and can be a good source of hydration and nutrients.
A quarter cup of coconut oil is equivalent to approximately 4 tablespoons or 60 milliliters. In terms of weight, it typically weighs around 54 grams, but this can vary slightly depending on the temperature, as coconut oil can be solid or liquid.

Organic coconut oil is coconut oil made from coconuts produced under an organic production system, where the farming and processing have to meet the requirements of the applicable organic standard and certification. So simply calling an oil “virgin,” “cold pressed,” naturally dried, or chemical-free does not automatically make it organic. There is another distinction that is often overlooked: organic tells you about the production system and certification, while virgin tells you more about how the oil has been obtained and processed. When I look at a virgin coconut oil, I therefore pay attention not only to the final oil but also to what happened to the coconut before extraction. For example, at Pure Tatva, we source coconuts directly from Tamil Nadu and pay particular attention to the quality of the raw material. We use sulphur-free coconuts that are freshly procured and naturally sun-dried rather than relying on chemically dried material. We then inspect the coconuts before processing. Instead of simply purchasing ready-made sliced or dehydrated coconut, we carry out the selection and slicing in-house. The coconut is subsequently dehydrated in-house to control its moisture before extraction. The final step is our Zero Heat Extraction System, where the prepared coconut is mechanically pressed to obtain our Virgin Juicy Coconut Oil. I think this distinction is important for consumers. The quality of coconut oil starts well before the oil reaches the bottle. The source of the coconut, how it was dried, moisture control, extraction method, filtration and storage can all influence the final product. At the same time, I would not call an oil “organic” simply because it is naturally processed. If you specifically want certified organic coconut oil, check the product's organic certification and the applicable certification details on the label. I’m Ravi Pratap Rana, Founder of Pure Tatva, with 19 years of experience in the Pharmaceutical Industry, and my approach to oils is to look at the complete process rather than judging a product only by a single word on the label. You can learn more about Pure Tatva and our oil-processing approach at pure tatva So, in simple terms: organic coconut oil is about certified organic production; virgin coconut oil is about the way the oil is obtained and processed. They can overlap, but they are not synonymous.
