It is not clear what the difference is between virgin and extra virgin coconut oil. Avoid coconut oil that is labeled as just being organic, or in general any coconut oil without the word virgin on it. Virgin coconut oil is made from fresh coconuts, while the other oil is made from copra, which is dried coconuts. There is concern that oil made from copra may be contaminated, although it does go through a refining process. I guess some might say it is good enough to use for cooking, but not to eat raw. Imo the best idea is just to use virgin or extra virgin coconut oil for all purposes. Some brands aren't that expensive per ounce, especially if you buy a larger container.
