THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VIRGIN COCONUT OIL AND COPRA What is "Copra?"The most commonly available
coconut oil in the UK is RBD (refined, bleached and deodorised). This is
because it is made from copra. The drying methods for copra are unsanitary and the
subsequent unrefined oil is not suitable for human consumption. It has to
be refined (purified). This is usually done with solvent chemicals and the
end result is a crude oil. The oil is bleached (to turn it from its brown,
rancid colour to white) and finally it is deodorised to eliminate the bad taste
and smell of the crude oil. This oil is very often referred to as
"natural" but this only means that it has not been hydrogenated.
