Difference Between Refined and Unrefined Coconut Oil
Refined coconut oil is made from dried coconut meat, also known as copra, which is then processed with heat, bleaching agents, and other chemicals to remove impurities and produce a clear, colorless, and odorless oil. This type of coconut oil has a higher smoke point, making it more suitable for cooking and baking. Unrefined coconut oil, on the other hand, is produced by pressing fresh coconut meat without using any high heat or chemical solvents.
