Coconut oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the flesh or seed of coconut. It is known for its multiple properties and uses. It is rich in saturated fatty acids, especially lauric acid, which imparts antimicrobial and antifungal properties. It is also used for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. Coconut oil can help improve skin and hair health, support heart health, and provide quick energy due to its medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) content.
