Lakewood, Colorado-based Natural Grocers has added Organic Extra Virgin Unrefined Coconut Oil to its line of Natural Grocers Brand Products, the company’s house brand.
Available in three sizes (17.5 ounce, 32 ounce, 48 ounce), this organic staple joins the Natural Grocers Brand Product line, established in 2016, which includes more than 800 products, available at Natural Grocers stores.
“With all Natural Grocers Brand Products, we believe our customers will notice positive differentiators between our brand and that of others. Our Coconut Oil is no exception. This product is a high-grade, unrefined premium nutritional edible oil obtained from the first cold pressing of organic coconut kernels. This keeps the contents in optimal condition,” said Laura Perkins, VP of purchasing.
“We are proud to put this product on our shelves, knowing it represents our commitment to quality, while also sourced from a Sri Lankan manufacturer committed to its local community.”
Karen Falbo, chef and Natural Grocers director of nutrition education, said, “Coconut oil is the perfect fat for sauteing meats and vegetables, and it makes baked goods delectable. Loaded with medium-chain fatty acids which have been shown to support brain and immune system function along with high levels of free-radical scavengers, there’s good reason this fat has become a prized cooking oil.”
Natural Grocers Brand Organic Coconut Oils are sourced from Sri Lanka, cultivated by organic farmers and processing facilities. From organic farming education to funding a community center and local schools, the manufacturer is an ardent supporter of the surrounding Sri Lankan community that the farms and processing facility are based in.
The Organic Coconut Oil fits into the Natural Grocers Brand Grocery lineup with other staple grocery items like organic bread, organic canned beans, organic frozen fruit, organic and 100 percent grass-fed cheese and organic and Fair Trade Certified coffee. Other categories within the company’s house brand include Natural Grocers Brand Household Products, Natural Grocers Brand Bulk Products and Natural Grocers Brand Supplements.
Additional items such as wild-caught, sustainably harvested Natural Grocers Brand Frozen Prepared Cod and Shrimp, company branded bath bombs and new flavors of its organic chocolate bars are expected to arrive in stores through 2022.
