Harvesting

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is made from fresh coconuts grown in tropical regions like the Philippines and Indonesia. The coconut meat is cold-pressed to produce a clear oil with a mild coconut aroma, preserving its natural nutrients and flavour.

Rich in medium-chain fatty acids like lauric acid, as well as vitamins E and K, it offers antioxidant properties and versatile uses in cooking, skincare, and haircare. Its nutrient-packed profile makes it a popular choice for natural and organic health and wellness routines.

The organic nature of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Ways to Use Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

Here are some of our favourite ways to use Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. From traditional favourites to contemporary twists, these ideas showcase the incredible versatility of the Forrist Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. Share your creations and join the Forrist community on Instagram #forrist!

Traditional Coconut Curry

Coconut oil is a staple in traditional South Asian cuisine, especially in curries. Heat a tablespoon of organic virgin coconut oil in a pan, add onions, garlic, ginger, and your choice of vegetables or protein. Stir in coconut milk, curry paste, and a dash of soy sauce. Simmer until the ingredients are cooked through and the flavours meld together. Serve over steamed rice for a comforting and aromatic meal.

Coconut Oil Roasted Sweet Potatoes with agave Glaze

For a unique twist, try roasting sweet potatoes in organic virgin coconut oil. Toss peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in melted coconut oil, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven until tender and caramelized. Drizzle with a mixture of coconut oil and agave syrup for a sweet and savoury glaze. Sprinkle with sea salt and chopped fresh herbs.

Pasta and Veggies in Coconut Oil

Start by cooking your favourite pasta until al dente, reserving some pasta water for later. In a large pan, heat a spoonful of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped garlic and onion until fragrant, then toss in an assortment of fresh vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli. Cook until tender-crisp. Add the cooked pasta to the pan, stirring to coat in the coconut oil and vegetable mixture. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to create a light sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chilli flakes for a subtle kick. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Perfect for a wholesome, satisfying meal!
