I’m not really into ‘superfoods’ as such, but I’d consider coconut oil to be right up there when it comes to uniquely superior foods for health. Here’s a quick overview on some of the major nutritional benefits of coconut oil…

Here in the southern hemisphere we’re currently in the heat of summer, and I can’t think of anything much more satisfying than basking in the sun and then cooling off with a creamy, dripping ice cream. 

Fresh cream. Fresh, raw cream from grass-fed cows.

Heaven.

Contrary to popular belief, cream from pastured organic cows is incredibly nutritious. It’s amazing source of fat-soluble vitamins A (for eye, skin, and adrenal health), D (essential for the absorption of calcium), E (an antioxidant, great for the skin) and K (essential for blood clotting and bone health). Cream fat also contains lots of short- and medium-chain fatty acids (good for energy and fat-burning) as well as conjugated linoleic acid (a potent antioxidant, muscle builder and immunity booster). Remember, the fat component of dairy is where the nutrition is… don’t shy away from it!
