People in the tropics, such as the Philippines and Sri Lanka, have traditionally used coconut oil in cooking, simply because it is such a versatile ingredient that can be used in stir-fries and curries. The oil on its own also has its signature 'coconutty' flavor, which might be a hit or miss with some people, but there is no doubt it makes dishes cooked with it all the more unique. It is also a stable oil that tolerates high temperatures and also has a longer shelf life without turning rancid easily. A widely touted health benefit of coconut oil is its weight loss function. Studies have shown that the body is more able to metabolize coconut oil compared to other sources of saturated fats such as lard and butter.
