Murray River Organics (MRO) has introduced its new range of coconut oils under its Pacific Organics brand, following the growth in coconut oil consumption from consumers.

The health credentials and benefits behind coconut oil has led the creation of the new range by MRO, as it provides consumers a new way to cook.

MRO chief marketing officer Tara Lordsmith said coconut oil can aid digestion and boost immunity.

“There are studies that have shown coconut oil can raise blood levels of good HDL cholesterol, which is linked to improved metabolic health and a lower risk of heart disease,” she said.

The new range is available in three flavours – Garlic, Chilli and Ginger – with each flavour chosen specifically for both its health benefits as well as taste.

“Chilli is beneficial to boosting immunity and clearing congestion, garlic contains antioxidants and improves bone health, and ginger assists in treating forms of nausea and lowering blood sugar levels,” said Lordsmith.

“What’s more, coconut oil has a relatively low smoke point compared to other commonly used cooking fats so it’s perfectly suitable for sautéing, baking, roasting, and even frying.”

The Pacific Organics coconut oil range will be rolling out in stores over the coming weeks.
