The smell of the oil was appetizing, just the same smell you got from poonac pieces a biproduct fed to the cattle.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">This oil was obtained from stone crushing appliances found in most kitchens in coconut plantation districts along the sea coast. That was a cottage industry at that time. The coconut kernel was shelled out and burnt in the hot sun for many days- called copra and used to extract the oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Then, came the bottled coconut oil started by the BCC company in Hultsdorf in Colombo. They processed the oil into a colorless watery liquid oil, became popular and easy to buy from the boutiques and grocery shops.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Presently, there are a variety of brands of coconut oil bottled up and sold as coconut oil.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">A few years ago, a virgin coconut oil was discovered that came to the market.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Virgin coconut oil has been the subject of extensive studies by many respected doctors, among them Dr. Bruce Fife, whose 15-year research and surveys can be found in Pub Med, the largest database of medical science in the US National Library of Medicine (https:\/\/www.pubmed.gov).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Instead of extracting the oil from dried brownish color coconut copra, fresh coconut\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">was scraped, dried under a temperature below 60degC to avoid discoloration and to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">reduce moisture level of the coconut to an 8%.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">This product was further dried under right temperature and cooled down to room\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">temperature and is fed to a pressing cylinder for cold -pressing to produce a colorless<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">and odorless virgin coconut oil. No chemicals were used to process the oil.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">This virgin coconut oil product is more solid at room temperature and freezes into\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">creamy ointment -like texture during winter-months and needs to be scooped out with\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">strength, like ice cream being scooped out. Though it is creamy you still could feel the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">tiny fragments of coconut which gives it an appetizing appearance.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Virgin coconut oil is sold in most countries in wide open jars for easy scooping out.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Recently, on our visit to Sri Lanka, we did our marketing in a super-market in\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Peradeniya Road, Kandy. My wife purchased a bottle of virgin coconut oil which\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">surprised me when used as a cooking oil.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">It did not have much of a smell of coconut and very watery in consistency, and the\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">label declared it was virgin coconut oil.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Most people in Sri Lanka wouldn\u2019t bother to know the difference between virgin or other\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">processed coconut oils. They wouldn\u2019t know the health benefits of the virgin oil in\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">preference to the processed oil and the manufacturers can cheat by labelling processed\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">oil and label as virgin coconut oils.

At room temperature, especially in air-conditioned\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">supermarkets the oil will demonstrate a degree of snowy appearance and should not\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">look like a processed watery oil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">People living in cold climatic conditions should purchase the oil in wide mouth jars for\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">easy scoop.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">The coconut research Institute in Lunuwila, Sri Lanka did produce high quality virgin\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">coconut oil in the nineties and I remember, I was sent two bottles from the first<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">production.
