Coconut oil is a natural oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts. It is commonly used in cooking, baking, and as a dietary supplement due to its high saturated fat content, which makes it stable at high temperatures. Coconut oil is also popular in skincare and haircare products for its moisturizing properties. In addition to culinary uses, coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are believed to provide quick energy and may support weight management. It is often associated with health benefits such as improved digestion and enhanced immunity, although more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
