Coconut Butter: Solid or Liquid,
The Same Fantastic Health Benefits

You can purchase a container of liquid transparent coconut oil from the store, take it home, and wake up to a hard, white solid.

Coconut oil has a high melting point. From a clear liquid, it changes into a dense, snowy solid at temperatures beneath 24 degrees Celsius (76 F). This transformation is perfectly normal.

During summer time, you can take out a solid cube of butter out of the refrigerator and watch it slowly melt, as they say, like butter. This is the reason why coconut oil is interchangeably referred to as coco butter.

Here in tropical Philippines, coconut oil generally stays liquid. If you live in a cool climate, all you have to do to liquefy hardened coconut oil is dip the container in hot water for a couple of minutes or so. It melts rather quickly.

But why melt it if you prefer to scoop the oil out with a spoon, knife, etc. It’s probably less messy. :-)

One thing is for sure though. Whether liquid or solid, coconut oil or butter is loaded with special and virtually rare fat molecules called medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), capable of killing organisms as deadly as the AIDS and SARS viruses.

Different states of matter, Same supreme health benefits!
