WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Zero net carbs: pure fat adds energy without impacting ketosis
  • Contains medium-chain–like fats (incl. lauric acid) that are efficiently metabolized
  • Easy way to hit fat targets and increase satiety in meals or beverages
  • Stable for cooking and baking; compatible with many keto recipes
  • Versatile: use for sautéing, curries, bulletproof-style coffee, and fat bombs

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

BULLETPROOF COFFEE

Blend hot coffee with 1 tbsp coconut oil and a pat of Butter or Ghee; add a splash of Heavy Cream if desired. Blend to emulsify for a creamy texture.

COOKING STAPLE

Sauté veggies and proteins at medium heat; ideal for curry bases, stir-fries, and roasted Cauliflower Rice.

BAKING BASE

Swap for butter in keto bakes (melted/cooled). Works well in cookies, bars, and pie crusts.

FAT BOMBS

Mix softened coconut oil with cocoa powder and sweetener; chill in molds for quick chocolate bites.

OIL PULLING

Swish 1 tbsp in the mouth for 10–15 minutes and spit (non-dietary practice some people use for oral hygiene).
