Coconut seems to be an often forgotten food. Well, we never want to forget about this amazing flavor. We love our Oatmeal Coconut Cookies. Here are some quick facts that may help to keep coconut in your kitchen (information from Discovery Health.com):
• The oil in coconut has unique abilities to fight off bad bacteria while leaving the good bacteria
• The antibacterial functions of coconut can help prevent or soothe infections
• Coconut oil is great for cooking because it remains stable. The benefits of the oil are not damaged by heating and will remain in the oil.
