About Oil, coconut
Coconut oil is almost entirely saturated fat, which is what gives it a solid texture at room temperature and a notably long shelf life. It carries a mild coconut aroma that can come through in baked goods or sauteed dishes. There is no protein, no carbs, no fiber. Nutritionally it behaves quite differently from most plant oils because of that high saturated fat content, and how that affects cardiovascular health has been debated in nutrition research for years. Use it where the flavor fits.
