In this season for giving, Everland Natural Foods will be donating $0.50 of every Everland Organic Coconut Oil unit sold in December, to charities working to help the Philippines recover from this unprecedented disaster.

So what is coconut oil used for?
Coconut oil’s popularity is skyrocketing. It has been extracted from coconut ‘meat’ for thousands of years, and used by millions of people in tropical climates. But coconut oil stayed out of the mainstream until recently. We now know that coconut oil is free of cholesterol and trans fats and contains lauric acid, (one of the “good fats”)
People use it for everything from baking and beverages to polishing furniture and seasoning cast iron fry pans. Coconut oil is even extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. (Most of the people in those countries apply coconut oil on their hair every day after bathing or showering!)
So why not try some of this ‘miracle oil’ and help bring a little help to those in the Phillipines who could use a miracle of their own.
