who we are

  • we believe fresh is best
  • we believe that vitamins are powerful things, but supplements & 'nutriceuticals' are more marketing than substance
  • we believe that the only panacea is making healthy choices
  • we eat food produced in kitchens, never factories
  • we believe that 'fresh' food with a shelf-life longer than a week contains more preservatives than nutrients
  • we choose organic as not all of the world has banned harmful agri-chemicals
  • we believe that fat is an essential part of your diet – they're called essential fatty acids because they are, well, in a word, essential
  • we believe that eating polyunsaturated fats like olive oil raw is incredibly good for lowering the levels of 'bad cholesterol', but that cooking with polyunsaturated fats creates trans-fats & poly-aromatic hydrocarbons, which cause damage on the cellular level
  • we believe that breast milk is best for the growing brain – & that sourcing a dietary source of organic, fresh & above all – trustworthy – lauric acid is best for mother & baby
  • we believe that growing & repairing brains will achieve their potential much sooner if supplied with the raw building blocks
  • we sourced these products because we wanted our children to have the best advantage possible
  • we became our own supplier as we were frustrated with poor quality virgin coconut oils
  • we visited the farms, investigated their processing procedures, collected samples & sent them off for independent testing, researched the best materials for the packaging, became shipping & handling agents just so we could connect to a reliable source...
...& now we bring you the fruits of our labours

what is virgin organic coconut oil?

  • virgin oils are cold-pressed, unrefined oils that retain their natural aromas & phytonutrients
  • refining removes the aromas and phytonutrients
  • our virgin organic coconut oil retains all these helpful ingredients that have proven benefits
