SalemMango: Pure Groundnut Oil and Pure Coconut Oil Review

Pure Coconut oil (Thengai Ennai) is one of the most versatile oil which not only can be used for skin and hair but also is edible and can be used in place of vegetable oil or butter. Coconut oil is a little different from other cooking oil. It contains several types of healthy saturated fats. In recent years coconut oil is gaining popular because of its versatility and health benefits. Among different health benefits, coconut oil is good for many diseases and for lowering high triglycerides due to high saturated fats. It's also good for blood sugar and weight loss.

Groundnut oil or peanut oil is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can protect us from heart diseases. Groundnut oil has a mild peanut flavor and is of bright yellow in colour. Groundnut oil is free from cholesterol and contains lots of essential fatty acids like omega-6.

SalemMango is well known for its mango supply. It's an online company which supply naturally ripend, chemical-free, hand picked mangoes directly to their customers through online order. Besides mangoes the company also supply some organic products like sugar, jaggery, dairy, honey, oil etc. The company delivers accross India within 5-7 business days and free delivery across Tamil Nadu. The company also supply Pure Groundnut Oil and Pure Coconut Oil. I am using these two oil products for last few days and here is my review on both the oil.

SalemMango Pure Coconut Oil Review:

Product name: Pure Coconut Oil
Brand: SalemMango
Quantity: 1 Litre Cost: Rs. 229/-

"Salem Mango Pure Coconut Oil is very easy to use. The hole in the oil bottle cap makes it easy to pour out the content without making a mess. As I have used the oil during autumn and the temperature in India during autumn is pretty hot, I can't say whether it becomes solid during winter or remains in the liquid state. But I loved the flavour. It has a mild coconut smell and is white in colour. I have used this SalemMango pure coconut oil in making curries and frying fritters. As coconut oil mostly contains saturated fat, it is suitable for deep frying and hence good for frying fritters. As it has a multiple use, I tried it on my hair and skin also. What I really liked about the SalemMango coconut oil was the subtle flavour and smooth texture and off course it's versatile nature. Single oil with multiple use with lots of health benefits."
