"...coconut oil becomes
"...coconut oil becomes rancid when exposed to oxygen at room temperature..."
- Yes, even the highly stable, highly saturated (92%) coconut oil gets rancid BUT much much longer than most other oils out there, particularly POLYUNSATURATED oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, safflower oil, etc.
Oils are "masters of deception." You can't tell the difference between a rancid oil and a good one. They all pretty much look alike. You can eat spoiled vegetable oil and not realize it. Keep in mind that all vegetable oils should be sealed in airtight, opaque containers and stored in the refrigerator for maximum shelf life.
Virgin coconut oil (VCO), because of its 92% saturation, is so stable that it can stay fresh for at least 2 years even WITHOUT refrigeration. Here in the Philippines, especially in the provinces, it's common for homemade VCO to last at least 3 years. There's even reports of Absolutely No Heat (ANH) virgin coconut oil lasting for about 10 years or more.
Take care.
