Silly me in just a jumper no down no fleece
Could do nothing but freeze and freeze
Smart me grabbed a packet of Ginger Tea Powder
Opened a packet of Mascobado Sugar Dark
Borrowed a big kettle and a huge pot for tea
Borrowed the Market office for brewing
And In ten minutes came Ginger Tea Power
For freezy him and her and you and me

To visit Hong Kong’s most original Fair Traders, you will need to travel to the New Territories. In the mountains of Sai Kung, Fanny-Min Becker, runs Fair-And-Healthy, a home-based business which sells organic and natural goodies such as dried mango, banana chips, virgin coconut oil, sugar and tea. This passionate and devoted Fair Trader was inspired to start her project after she heard the stories of Filipino farmers whom she met while protesting against the WTO.

初搾冷壓椰子油 Virgin Coconut Oil
Fair-and-Healthy 為您搜羅的公平貿易初搾冷壓有機椰子油，由新鮮椰子刨絲冷壓而成，無高溫處理，無添加劑，無摻雜。
椰子油不含膽固醇 (0%)。其主要成份為中鏈飽和脂肪酸。中鏈脂肪酸極容易消化，不用膽汁分解，能直接製造能量，穩定血糖和血壓，又能促進新陳代謝，改善體能。
椰子油的中鏈脂肪酸 約50% 是月桂酸 (Lauric Acid C12) 。 月桂酸存於母乳中，能被分解成 MONOLAURIN 單月桂酸甘油酯，抑制大部份致病細菌、病毒、及霉菌，為人體提供免疫能力。 [取材自: 還椰子油一份公道(上) 翟本瑞、尤惠貞 整理 第12-13頁]
( 母乳月桂酸含量約5.8%，一般食油月桂酸含量為0% )
理想食油

專家建議：每10公斤體重，每天最少半湯匙 (約 3 克月桂酸 )
[取材自: A New Look at Coconut Oil by Mary G. Enig, Ph.D. ]
例： 體重50 公斤 (110 磅) 每天 2½ 湯匙。可按體質自行增減。
療效眾多
椰子油可助減肥、抗老化， 能消除持續性疲倦，防治心臟病、流行性感冒、膽囊感染、皮膚病、骨質疏鬆、糖尿病、 肝病等，又能改善腸胃消化功能，緩解痔瘡，至為有效。椰子油在增加體內能量的同時並不會使血糖增高。 [取材自: 還椰子油一份公道(下) 翟本瑞、尤惠貞 整理 第七頁]
控制體重妙法

用作護髮油，洗髮後，未擦乾前，用指尖沾少許椰子油，輕柔地按摩髮根及均勻地擦在頭髮上，能使頭髮光澤柔潤。
怎樣儲存和使用
無添加劑的初搾冷壓椰子油，於攝氏25º或以下呈白色固體或半固體狀。溫度回升，即會變回液體。初次開封使用時，先將容器平放在桌面上，旋開瓶蓋，然後小心揭開封口，以免外濺。
高純度椰子油不容易氧化。放于陰涼處，儲存期可達兩年。但使用時，務請注意避免沾污椰子油，以免可用期縮短。
