At Ubergreen Organics we’ve discovered that coconut brings a lot more to the table than just luxurious summer fun, the health benefits we can derive from this amazing nut have been revealed to be nearly limitless. Coconut water can be used as an emergency blood transfusion, the meat provides great flavor and huge health benefits, and then there is the absolutely king product of this tropical wonder, Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO)!

It’s been revealed that virgin coconut oil is a bit of a Swiss-army knife of the nutritional world, capable of doing everything from improving skin health, making your hair lush and vibrant, and generally working to enhance your health in every aspect.
