Coconut oil has been in use since ages, in fact it alone was the main source of dietary cooking oil for millions of people who lived in the tropical regions or along the coast. Coconut oil is extracted from dried copra, the dried kernel. The dried coconut is cut into small pieces facilitating easy extraction. It is mildly cooked in a steamer to enhance its moisture content, and then pressed for oil. The pressed oil is then filtered to obtain pure and clean coconut oil. Another method of coconut oil extraction involves the use of coconut milk. The quality of the coconut oil is dependent upon various factors; quality of the dried coconut and extraction process.
