Coconut oil headed to IFE
West London-based food ingredients supplier Helios Ingredients is preparing to launch its own-label organic virgin coconut oil.
Single origin virgin coconut oil will be the first product in the company’s new Puro range. It will be unveiled at the International Food and Drink Event (IFE) in March.
Helios Ingredients’ business development manager Adriana Arias claimed Puro organic virgin coconut oil was 100% traceable and 100% natural.
“It is extracted by cold pressing organic coconut flesh from coconuts. It is not chemically refined, bleached or deodorised,” added Arias.
“As well as a healthier oil substitute in cooking, the oil can be used straight from the jar to nourish hair, skin, nails and [for] other cosmetic uses.”
