This raw coconut butter by Artisana has the texture of peanut butter only it’s coconut.  I’m literally eating this out of the jar!  It is made from the whole coconut flesh, not just the oil.  There are “no additives, only pure, unadulterated coconut.”  It’s certified organic, vegan, raw, and kosher. What’s so great about coconut flesh?  Glad you asked!

According to the article “Is Coconut Meat Good For You?” by Foods for Better Health, Coconut Meat (otherwise known as flesh) has the following 8 benefits:

1) Helps eliminate parasites from the body
2) Regulates bowel activity
3) Helps to balance blood sugar levels
4) Destroys candida and other harmful organisms
5) Supports the immune system
6) Great for bone health
7) Assists in weight-loss
8) Reduces the risk of heart disease
