Coconut is currently touted as one of the super foods in the world. Especially coconut oil, coconut oil is becoming harder and harder to acquire in the western world. Why? You might think. EVERYBODY is buying it. The hype coconut oil gets is insane. Coconut oil is advocated to be the healthiest oil to consume of cook with. As it doesn’t change of chemical structure during heating. Coconut oil carries little to no flavor so it will not affect food taste much, if at all. Another thing that has starter the coconut craze is hair. Females well men too I guess. Use coconut oil as a hair conditioner, it is touted as an excellent combatant of frizzy hair while leaving a nice hint of coconut aroma. Skincare is not unaffected either as it is slowly beating jojoba oil as an moisturizer, that mimics the skins natural oils.
So how can you get your hands on cheap high quality coconut oil? Juicing of course. Coconut oil & coconut butter are becoming extremely expensive. The raw version basically being a black hole designed to eat cash. They will go for about 1 dollar per OZ. However when you make coconut butter or oil fresh with your juicer, it is very affordable. A coconut will range from ½ -1 dollar. One coconut will yield about 6-7 oz. of coconut cream.
To make coconut oil cream or butter, you have to use brown coconuts as these have a higher oil content than the white ones do.
I you use fresh coconut, with a juicing screen in your juicer, you will end up with coconut cream. The oil and water will end up getting extracted from the coconut meat. Making coconut milk is simple just add water to the coconut cream, then stir it. By whisking it or with a blender.
Instead of fresh coconut, you can also use dehydrated coconut. Using this with the blank screen or homogenizing attachment of your juicer, the coconut will turn into a butter. Make sure to take it slow so you don’t end up jamming up your machine. After all of the coconut has come through. Repeat this process, till you are happy with the consistency of the coconut butter. I usually like it at around 4-5 times. This butter is absolutely amazing, nut butters are one of the best things about juicers. Way better taste and health wise. Whilst also being way cheaper. The butter for example is 6 times as cheap when made at home. Depending on your area of residence this might run up to 10 times as cheap.
In order to make coconut oil use dehydrated coconut with the juicing screen/juicing attachment. You will end up with coconut oil with a bit of thick cream from the juicing outlet. The pulp outlet will end up with coconut fiber that can be used to make crackers. I recommend the coconut oil for body care & hair care. The butter is what I recommend for every day consumption.
