wild grown and small holder plantations around Kole (Longtal)
on the Espiritu Santo island in Vanuatu. Vanuatu is

(1,090 miles) east of northern Australia, 500 kilometres (310 miles)
northeast of New Caledonia, west of Fiji, and southeast of the Solomon
Islands, near New Guinea.
Traditional communities in tropical
regions have for centuries used virgin coconut oil as a vital source for
food, health and general well being. New research is verifying these
traditional beliefs that virgin coconut oil has the potential to cure
many of the ailments that have manifested in our bodies through the
highly refined diet of our modern society.
Coconut oil is saturated fat and does
not contain any trans fatty acid or fats produced by modern refining and
processing methods. This oil is unique in its structural make-up as it
is the highest source of saturated fats (92%), of Medium Chain
Triglycerides (62%) and 50% of these MCT’s are made up of Lauric Acid,
the most important essential fatty acid.
