Expeller Pressed vs. Virgin Coconut oil

[Guest guest]

I want to avoid regular coconut oil, because the processing hydrogenates the

oil.

The following web site shows a vendor selling " expeller pressed " coconut oil.

" Wilderness Family Naturals offers a high quality certified

organicExpeller-Pressed Coconut Oil as an economical choice for high temperature

cooking. This oil is mechanically expressed without the use of solvents or

chemicals of any kind. It is an excellent quality food-grade coconut oil that is

NOT hydrogenated and contains NO trans fatty acids. Expeller-pressed coconut oil

has a neutral flavor (because it is semi-refined), yet it contains the same

healthy fatty acids as virgin coconut oil. This certified organic Expeller

Pressed Coconut Oil is less expensive than virgin coconut oil because it can be

mass produced. The coconuts are opened and quickly dried. The dried coconuts are

then mechanically pressed to remove the oil, without using chemical solvents.

Any free fatty acids are removed, the oil is run through diatomaceous earth, and

lastly, the oil is steam distilled. This yields a very pure, uncontaminated

coconut oil. Though not a virgin oil, it still melts at 76 ° F, is very light

and creamy smooth, containing the same medium chain fatty acids as virgin

coconut oil. People in Southeast Asian countries, such as the Philippines, use

this as their main cooking oil. Virgin coconut oil is creamy white as a solid

and water-clear as a liquid. Unlike virgin coconut oil, this expeller pressed

coconut oil is an off-white to light tan color as a solid, and a light brown

color when a liquid. "

Would any of you buy this coconut oil, or would you stick with virgin coconut

oil?
