—Properly Packaged Coconut Oil—

As with any oil, all coconut butter/oil that you use should be cold-pressed and packaged in dark glass bottles. All butters and oils are light-sensitive. Coconut oil should be sealed in dark amber glass containers to keep damaging spectrums of light from reaching the oil.

Raw organic coconut oil is very stable and can be kept in a cupboard at room temperature. It can be refrigerated after opening, but this is not required to ensure freshness. It can remain stable for at least two years and some people suggest five years with proper storage (no light, heat, or oxygen). In his book The Coconut Oil Miracle, Bruce Fife, ND, tells us: “According to Leigh Broadhurst, PhD, a scientist at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltville, Maryland, saturated fatty acids are 300 or more times more resistant to oxidation than alpha-linolenic acid (flaxseed oil). In other words, coconut oil will remain fresh 300 times longer than flaxseed oil. For instance, to equal the amount of oxidative damage that occurs in flaxseed oil in just 30 minutes of processing, coconut oil would have to be subjected to the same conditions for 150 continuous hours—that’s over six days.”
