Leafy Greens Cafe: Coconut oil has the most amazing benefits: It is an incredible source of hydration, food, and perhaps most importantly, medicine. Coconut water and coconut meat are great to drink and eat, but the oil or "butter" of this tree fruit is where its true benefits reside. Coconut oil contains fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that are easy for your body to burn off and provide a great source of energy and nourishment. Some of these MCTs, like lauric acid work to keep you healthy by removing disease-causing microbes and lowering inflammation. There are over 1000 scientific studies to date that prove coconut oil to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet! Coconut butter and coconut oil is available to buy in our Leafy Greens shop. #eatwelldogood #coconutbacon #coconut #coconutoil @antoniadeluca
