Anyone got any advice on RBD coconut oil? I found some *really* cheap near me, so I emailed the company:-
Quote:
Dear Mr Brodie
Thank you for your query about our Coconut Oil.
1: This product is made from fresh coconuts, which have been air dried after removal of the coconut water. The oil is not made from copra, which is fully dried coconut.
2: The oil is RBD - refined, bleached and deodorised. Fuller's earth, a natural clay, is used in the refining.
3: It is not hydrogenated. Hydrogenation is a process for making (normally liquid) oils solid at room temperatures; coconut oil is naturally solid at normal room temperatures and does not need hydrogenation.
I hope you continue to buy and enjoy Pride brand products.
Yours sincerely
Maro Merakli, for Pride Oils plc

Hi there,
I recently bought a bottle of coconut oil in a local store which says it
was bottled by your company.
I'm just looking for some extra info about it since there's not much
printed on the bottle!
Is your coconut oil made from copra?
Is your coconut oil refined, bleached and deodorized?
Is your coconut oil hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated?
Many Thanks
-- Doogie

I know it's not as good as the virgin stuff, but is there likely to be any benefit (or harm!) in using it for cooking?
