MCTs are Medium-Chain Triglycerides, or medium-chain fatty acids and can be found in any of our products containing Coconut like our Creamers, Hydrate, and Instant Lattes.
Coconut naturally contains the full range of MCTs (C6, C8, C10, C12). MCTs may be easier to digest and more rapidly absorbed than Long Chain Triglycerides (LCTs), due to their smaller chain length. MCTs are quickly metabolized (burned as fuel) and therefore more efficiently converted for immediate use in the body. They’re also minimally stored as fat, as compared to LCTs.
How are your coconuts processed?
Our fresh coconuts are shelled and pared; then, the white meat is ground and oven dried. The dried meat is pressed to physically extract the oil without the use of solvents. The oil is then filtered and packaged
We work closely with all of our coconut providers to ensure that we’re receiving the best ingredients available while responsibly sourcing from local farms and co-ops. None of our providers use monkey labor.
