Coconut is a tropical fruit high in fibre and contains several essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Therefore, it can be a healthy addition to a diabetic’s diet in moderation. One of the primary nutrients in coconut is fibre, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and improves digestion. Coconut also contains a type of fat called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can help to improve insulin sensitivity and may have other health benefits.

How is Virgin Coconut Oil made?
Fresh coconut flesh is used also called non-copra.
Chemicals and high heat are not used.
There are currently two main processes of manufacturing Virgin Coconut Oil:

1. Quick drying of fresh coconut flesh. Low heat is used to quick dry the coconut; the oil is then pressed out with mechanical means.

2. Wet-milling. The oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without drying first. Coconut milk is made by pressing. Then the oil is separated from the water. The methods used to separate the oil from the water include boiling, fermentation, refrigeration, enzymes, and mechanical centrifuge.
