These days, many products can be mixed with other substances. Want to know if your coconut oil is genuine? Check out how to tell if it’s pure coconut oil. Tap to see!
Always read the label for signs like USDA Organic or Fair Trade. This is similar to looking at the ingredients list. You should know what you're buying.
Real coconut oil has a light, nutty scent. If it smells too strong or odd, it might be messed with. Trust your nose.
Coconut oil should harden when the temperature is below 76°F (24°C). If it stays liquid, it may have other oils mixed in.
Pure coconut oil can handle high heat (about 350°F/177°C). If it smokes or burns quickly, it could be mixed with something else. Be cautious!
Real coconut oil has a low amount of free fatty acids. You can find this out with a lab test or a simple method at home.
