How Virgin Coconut Oi(VCO) is Made

First , the husk and the shell are removed from a fresh coconut, and it is shredded. Then it is "Cold Pressed" to get the coconut milk without any chemicals. The milk is then fermented in containers for a day or two. After which, oil is produced. This oil is carefully filtered and separated from the curd. You now have what is called, VCO!

How Coconut Sugar is Made-

It is derived from the evaporating coconut sap or sweet toddy through boiling in an open

process of heat evaporation with no preservatives added.

Our Virgin Coconut Oil is made using fresh coconut or what is called non-copra, fully dry coconut.  It is cold-pressed from organically grown coconuts. And of course 100% USDA Certified Organic! 

Common Uses: A nutritious substitute for baking, and a better-than-butter spread on bread, vegetables, or popcorn. Also, an ideal high-heat cooking oil (up to 350° F). As a conditioner, it embellishes the the hair leaving it soft and silky, and as a pure massage oil, it leaves the skin soft and smooth. 

Organic Coconut Sugar is a great substitute for other sugars due to its low Glycemic Index of 35. Perfect for diabetics, athletes and anyone else looking for a healthy alternative to other sugars and artificial sweeteners. Our organic coconut sugar is derived from the toddy or sweet sap of the coconut, not from the seed. Coconut sugar granules are dark brown in color similar to the Muscovado sugar from sugar cane. It tastes like an ordinary cane sugar, but with a sweet coconut taste. The sugar particles look rough, but feel soft in your hand. It will easily melt in your mouth and taste only slightly sweet.

Common Uses: A delicious and healthier alternative sweetener to cane sugar and brown sugar. Great for your morning coffee or your secret recipe brownies! You can use it to sweeten absolutely any food that you ordinarily use cane sugar or brown sugar for. It is also a great energy source due to its low GLYCEMIC INDEX (GI) of 35.

Organic Coconut Flour (coming June 2011!)

Edible Haven is proud to be one of the first companies to introduce Coconut Flour. This amazing product is naturally low in digestible carbohydrates and contains no gluten. It has less carbohydrates than soy or nut flours, but is very high in fiber and a good source of protein. Not to mention it is 4 times higher in fiber than oat bran, 2 times higher in fiber than wheat bran, and 3 times higher in fiber than ground flaxseed.

I tried the coconut oil on my hair as a conditioner.  It smelled so good and my hair looked shinier.  I put some on my bread, and it tasted pretty good.  I had to laugh that I ate something that I just used on my hair.  However, I like a product that is multi-purpose!
The coconut sugar said that it could be used on anything that you would normally use sugar or brown sugar on.  I like to have oatmeal for breakfast, so I sprinkled this sugar on it.  It was really good, and bit more flavorful then my sugar substitute that I normally use.
I would never have thought that coconut oil could be made into things like sugar, flour, and oil.  It tastes good and has many health benefits, so it is definitely a good addition to the market.

Edible Haven would like to offer one myokcmommy reader a sample pack of their products and a E-cookbook.
