Food Oscar "GREAT TASTE AWARDS 2018" awarded 2 stars★★.
Since its launch in March 2013, the high quality and deliciousness of this product have been highly evaluated. It has been handled at over 3,000 department stores and supermarkets in Japan. In 2018, among coconut oils gathered worldwide at the "GREAT TASTE AWARDS" organized by the UK's premium food retail association, it was the only coconut oil to receive a silver award, earning 2 stars. Its quality and taste, which is the most important criterion in the judging, have been highly praised, and it has been recognized worldwide as "delicious coconut oil."
There is a reason why it tastes good.
Fresh coconuts are immediately transported to the factory, squeezed raw, and centrifuged to extract fresh coconut milk. No chemical refining is performed.
Approximately 10 months fully ripened coconuts are used.
It features a gentle coconut aroma, and many customers have given high praise, saying, "I've tried various ones, but ultimately BROWN SUGAR 1ST.'s coconut oil is the most delicious!"
Medium-chain fatty acids (Natural MCT oil <61%>).
Compared to medium-chain fatty acids such as those in beef fat, the medium-chain fatty acids contained in coconut oil are transported directly to the liver for metabolism, and are absorbed four times faster than long-chain fatty acids, providing energy ten times faster. This characteristic makes it popular among gym trainers and athletes.
This product contains over 60% medium-chain fatty acids. It is also widely used by people on a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Among natural vegetable oils, coconut oil contains the highest amount of medium-chain fatty acids. It is useful for adding to daily beverages and supporting ketogenic lifestyles.
Contains 47% lauric acid, which is attracting attention now.
Coconut oil's medium-chain fatty acids include lauric acid. When ingested, lauric acid combines with glycerin to form monolaurin. Monolaurin has a structure similar to components of microbial membranes, allowing it to attach to and destroy microbes by breaking their membranes. Lauric acid is also present in human breast milk to protect infants from harmful bacteria. It kills harmful microbes while being harmless to humans. Therefore, coconut oil can be safely used by children.

Features and ways to eat coconut oil you want to eat every day.
【Beginner Level】Excellent compatibility with coffee and bread!
BROWN SUGAR 1ST.'s coconut oil pairs especially well with coffee and bread! If you've been curious about coconut oil but haven't tried it yet, start by spreading it on your breakfast toast. Adding honey or cinnamon makes a honey coconut toast. You can also add it to drinks like coffee or tea to enjoy the natural deliciousness of fresh coconut oil as part of a healthy daily routine.
【Intermediate Level】Ideal for heated cooking!
Healthy oils also need to be mindful of heating temperatures. While chemically refined MCT oil can deteriorate when heated, natural coconut oil containing 61% saturated fatty acids, including MCTs, can be heated up to 190°C (the highest temperature for plant-based oils). It is less prone to deterioration from heat compared to unsaturated fats like flaxseed or perilla oils, making it a recommended cooking oil.
<For cooking>
It is recommended to use when sautéing onions. The coconut oil enhances the sweet aroma of onions. It is convenient to remember "coconut oil for sautéed onions" for dishes like hamburgers, curry, and meat and potatoes.
<For baking>
Our coconut oil is processed with a unique method that does not involve heating and removes moisture to the limit, resulting in a gentle, soft coconut aroma. Therefore, when baking sweets, replacing 1/3 to 1/2 of butter with coconut oil yields delicious results. It is also recommended to substitute butter with coconut oil in muffins and pound cakes. It has a richness similar to butter but leaves a clean aftertaste without stickiness. Many delicious coconut oil-based dessert recipes are available on Cookpad! ⇒ Click here to search recipes!

【Storage Instructions】
Please close the lid tightly, keep the container upright, and store away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity. It can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated. If you want to enjoy it in a solid state, refrigerate it. To enjoy it as a liquid, keep it at room temperature or warm the bottle in hot water at about 40°C. It begins to melt above 25°C, so there is no need to prepare boiling water. During winter, if the oil solidifies and is difficult to scoop with a spoon, it is recommended to warm the bottle in a water bath until liquid, then freeze in an ice cube tray, and store in a plastic bag for convenience. This allows for single-use portions. In summer, it becomes liquid, so using an oil-specific container is convenient.
【Precautions for Use】
When coconut oil is liquefied, opening the bottle quickly may cause oil to spill. Although coconut oil is resistant to oxidation, please be careful to prevent water and bacteria from contaminating it. Use a dry, hygienic spoon or butter knife.
