So you’ve seen the Earth Balance buttery spread in the refrigerated case for years.  But did you know they’re now making a spread out of extra virgin coconut oil?! Welcome to this newest addition to the Earth Balance family!  You can do just about anything with it that you would normally do with butter or oil.  Bake, sauté, stir-fry, spread it raw…anything your imagination can concoct.  The smoke point for unrefined extra virgin coconut oil is 350°F, so you can get pretty hot without degrading the nutritional content of this naturally beneficial tropical fat.  There is a misconception spread among many people that coconut oil is not good for the heart. This is because it contains a large quantity of saturated fats. However, coconut oil is beneficial for the heart. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps in preventing various heart problems including high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.   Lowering your “bad” LDL cholesterol and raising your “good” HDL cholesterol has never been so easy!

 Earth Balance Coconut Spread is lactose-free, soy-free, gluten-free, organic, vegan, non-gmo, and just plain good-for-you!  Stop in today and pick up a tub:  you can try it on your toast, in your morning smoothie, in those muffins you’ve been dying to indulge in, and just about everything else!
