This Liquid coconut oil is definitely a great value for the price. But if you're buying it as an MCT oil, it's higher in (C12) Laurate, and lower in (C10) caprate, and (C8) caprylate, than other MCT oils, which you can tell because it will solidify in the refrigerator, unlike the 60/40 caprate/caprylate MCT blend I normally buy.
In this regard it is more liquid coconut oil and less MCT oil. Laurate is technically an MCT, but it is the longest chain triglyceride of MCTs and it's not certain it has the same health benefits of the smaller MCTs, because it is not transported through the portal vein to the liver, rather it's absorbed through the lymphatic system like long chain triglycerides.
I use MCT oil to spray on popcorn to get salt and spices to stick and the low viscosity of this oil works really well in my oil sprayer. So this is a great oil for light spraying on skillets, salads, etc.
There is a very, very slight coconut flavor compared to true MCT oil, but it's hardly noticeable.
For the price, I'm definitely switching from my previous brand despite the limitations above.
