Cold-pressed organic coconut oil
Dragon Superfoods Organic Coconut Oil is obtained from the white flesh of coconuts, also known as copra.
The coconut flesh is grated, dried and carefully pressed at a low temperature. The resulting oil is then filtered without refining or bleaching.
This gentle process preserves its natural coconut taste, tropical aroma and smooth texture.
100% coconut oil
The product contains one ingredient only: certified organic coconut oil.
It contains no added flavours, preservatives, hydrogenated fats or unnecessary ingredients.
A natural coconut aroma
Cold-pressed coconut oil retains the characteristic aroma and flavour of coconut.
Its light tropical notes work particularly well in desserts, baked recipes, curries, rice dishes and preparations with fruit, cocoa or vanilla.
For recipes where a completely neutral flavour is needed, unscented coconut oil may be more suitable.
Suitable for cooking at moderate temperatures
Coconut oil is naturally rich in saturated fatty acids and remains stable during heating.
It can be used for cooking at temperatures of up to approximately 170°C, making it suitable for:
- Sautéing
- Gentle frying
- Roasting vegetables
- Baking cakes and biscuits
- Preparing pancakes and waffles
- Making sauces and curries
- Greasing baking trays and pans
Avoid overheating or allowing the oil to smoke.
A plant-based alternative to butter
Cold-pressed coconut oil can replace butter or other cooking fats in many plant-based recipes.
When solid, it can add structure to pastry, biscuits, homemade chocolate and dessert fillings. When melted, it blends easily into cakes, pancakes, sauces and raw desserts.
Use it in:
- Vegan cakes and biscuits
- Homemade chocolate
- Dessert creams and glazes
- Energy bites and raw desserts
- Granola
- Pancakes and waffles
- Pie and tart crusts
- Rice and vegetable dishes
- Curries and sauces
Solid or liquid depending on temperature
Coconut oil naturally changes consistency according to the surrounding temperature.
It is generally solid below approximately 18°C and becomes liquid above approximately 24°C.
This natural transition does not affect the quality, taste or nutritional properties of the oil.
For skin and hair care
Cold-pressed coconut oil is also widely used in cosmetic routines.
Its smooth, rich texture makes it suitable for:
- Nourishing dry skin
- Body care after showering
- Massage
- Hair masks
- Dry hair ends
- Removing makeup
- Care after sun exposure
Apply a small amount and massage gently into the skin or hair. As with any cosmetic ingredient, test on a small area first if your skin is sensitive.
How to use coconut oil
For cooking and baking, use according to the recipe.
When solid, take the required quantity with a spoon. When liquid, pour it directly into the preparation.
For cosmetic use, warm a small amount between the palms and apply to the skin or hair.
