Why does this virgin coconut oil receive a Nutri‑Score of E, and which nutrients are responsible for the low rating?

The Nutri‑Score algorithm assigns negative points for high energy and saturated‑fat content; with 819 kcal and 86 g of saturated fat per 100 ml, the oil accrues the maximum negative points, while it gains no positive points because it lacks fiber, protein or fruit/vegetable content, resulting in an overall score that places it in the lowest E category.

Is this oil suitable for special diets such as vegan, keto, or low‑fat eating plans?

Yes, the oil is 100 % plant‑based, vegan and gluten‑free, making it compatible with vegan and keto diets that emphasize high fat and low carbohydrate intake. However, it is not appropriate for low‑fat or heart‑healthy eating plans because of its very high saturated‑fat level.

What is the best way to store virgin coconut oil after opening to keep it fresh?

Store the jar in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight; after opening, keep the lid tightly sealed and place the container in the refrigerator if you want to maintain a firm texture, though the oil remains stable at room temperature for several months.
