初搾冷壓椰子油 Virgin Coconut Oil

Fair-and-Healthy 的公平貿易初搾冷壓有機椰子油, 由新鮮有機椰子刨絲冷壓而成，無高溫處理，無添加劑，無摻雜，是特純天然椰子油。

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) 。月桂酸常存於母乳中，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。

( 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

以飽和脂肪酸為主的椰子油，品質非常穩定，不怕光熱，不易變質，不含逆脂肪酸，含豐富月桂酸，能提升免疫能力，是營養豐富的理想食油。

用來作菜：煎、炒、蒸、炸均可。又可作麵包、糕點，或用來塗麵包，代替高膽固醇牛油。

營養補充劑

椰子油能促進新陳代謝，調節生理機能，可按體重作營養補充劑服用。
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

如欲控制身體因飲食過量肥胖超重，于飯前半小時服用椰子油一茶匙，能減低肆食意欲。

美容護膚護髮按摩

椰子油能滋潤肌膚，去頭皮，又有美容效果；能抑制致皮膚病患的細菌、病毒、霉菌，紓緩濕疹、傷患、蚊叮蟲咬；可作潤膚油、護髮油、按摩油等。

用作潤膚油，沐浴後，未抹乾身前，抹塗全身，效果最佳。

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

椰子油於攝氏25º或以下呈固體狀，溫度回升，即會變回液體。若瓶口狹窄，天寒時可把椰子油整瓶浸在攝氏40º溫水中，待椰子油溶解後，倒進闊口容器來使用。

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。

$$$$$

Rewards
not in terms of $$$$$
Not yet
So far at least

Almost two years already
And still not able to pay ourselves
Or cover Fair Trade phone bills
‘Warehouse’ air-con & other costs

But we do get rewards
At the Sunday Farmers’ Market
In terms of smiling faces
And words of appreciation & thanks

Loyal customer JL had had nasty rashes
For years and years and years
Desperately she revealed to us last time
And this time a broad smile of relief

A big THANK YOU to SPFTC
JL says
For their Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
初搾冷壓有機椰子油

:):):):):) = $$$$$

Believe it or not
What has also helped my sore throat
Is Virgin Coconut Oil

I was thinking
If the oil can sooth your skin
Why not the skin in your throat

And I remember the contented look
Of one customer hunting
For supplement & massage oil

Wow, yummy, he exclaimed
A jolly body-building training guy
From Australia or New Zealand or so

So I swallowed one teaspoonful
And kept it in my throat
An aromatic soothing agent

At HK$40 per 150ml bottle
There are 70 spoonfuls
(I just measured)

70 tsp for skin caring
70 tsp for smart cooking
70 tsp for immunity enhancing

No wonder people lined up for more
When we were running out of stock
At FARMFEST 2007

On a Cloudy Sunday Farmers’ Market Day

Little Wicky arrived with his mum,
Smiling as ever, telling us how
His stubborn rashes were gone,
Thanks to the Virgin Coconut Oil
He got from ‘Uncle’ Stephen last week.
Bright sunshine appeared.

Little Ji-Ye arrived with Mum and Dad and Little Brother:
Chewy Dried Papaya, 10 packets or more!
For his yummy goodies they had rushed back from Shenzhen!
We thought the family would not be back till May!
Awfully sorry! Only 5 left!
And it almost rained.
