    It does have saturated fat though. Rule of thumb, the lower the temperature at which a fat goes solid, the more saturated it is. But the solid texture can be helpful when replacement other solid fats, true!

      Huh, I’ve been working under the impression this whole time that coconut oil is made of monounsaturated fat. That impression comes from watching some cooking shows that one time and thus might be incorrect.

      Another thing about coconut oil compared to lard: You don’t have to take a band saw to a pig in order to make it.
