For cooking…

Coconut oil does contain a large number of saturated fats, however, it also contains about 50% lauric acid. The saturated fats present in coconut oil is not harmful as in case of other vegetable oils. Coconut oil can be heated to much higher temperatures than other cooking oils without oxidising, making it perfect for frying.
