So you just saw how we cracked open the coconut, took the coconut meat out, put it through
the Omega 8006 Nutrition Center, and got coconut shreds out.
We then put that in the dehydrator on the Premaflex non-stick sheets.
You let the dehydrator run at a hundred eighteen degrees until the coconut shreds are done,
which depending on the time and the temperature and the humidity in your air, it could be
from twelve to twenty-four hours.
You’re gonna then take them out and this is what yu’re gonna have, you’re gonna
have real coconut shreds.
So the coconut shreds that you buy in the store have basically been defatted.
Because when you move these, you’re actually see some oil on the tray, on the premaflex
sheet.
And so what you’re gonna do is very carefully then bend up the sheet not to loose any of
the coconut flakes, and then put it into a big, uh—big pitcher or jar.
So tht’s one tray’s worth here.
We’ll get out another tray’s worth.
And so now you have real coconut flakes, full fat coconut flakes.
The coconut flakes you buy in the store have actually been defatted.
It’s the pressed keg—or the remants of when they press out the coconut oil.
And that’s why those flakes will never go rancid.
And we want to eat thing sthat have a shelf life, that will go back, because those are
the things that are the best for us.
And so this coconut here that you just made—or that I just made, this will go bad and turn
rancid.
It’ll start to smell and go bad probably within three and at the most six months.
So you have to use it really quickly.
Okay, so now I’m gonna pour off these last coconut shreds.
And so there’s three things that you can do with these coconut shreds once you have
them.
You can actually use the coconut shreds whole, so you have, you know, whole cocnut shreds
with the oil content.
They taste very rich and they’re very good.
Much better than the ones oyu would buy in the bulk bins or in any package.
The next thing you can do is you can actually make coconut butter.
So you could put it thorugh the Omega 8006 Nutrition Center with the blank plate, and
that’ll literally make a coconut butter.
You’ve all seen the brand Artisana Coconut Butter, that’s basically what they do.
They take a full fat coconut shreds and they basically homogenize it.
With the blank, you have your own coconut butter and it’s much less expensive.
As you can see, all the coconuts in there, these coconuts—I think there’s aporximaelty
maybe three coconuts of shreds in here.
And those three cocnuts costs me less than five dollars.
So I had all the coconut water.
And the coconuts actually range in price from ninety-nine cents to a dollar twnty-nine each.
And then, plus, oyu could also make your own coconut oil.
You’re truly raw coconut oil.
There has been a brand lately—Nutiva came out and they had labeled their coconut oil
“raw” for many years, and finally they found out that their coconut oil was not truly
raw and they came up with a press release telling people that it was not really raw.
And so I admire them for that, but there is no raw food labeling law, so we have to remember
that.
So we want to make things ourselves in our own kitchen and the Omega 8006 juicer allows
you to do just that.
So now we’re gonna make coconut oil with the Omega 8006 Nutrition Center.
So that’s basically when you juice in the Omega 8006 Nutrition Center, you can put a
carrot in there and that one side will come with the fiber and one side will come the
juice.
So we’re basically doing that with the coconut.
We’re taking the coconut through there and putting the cocnut fiber thorugh the machine
and out of one side will some the fiber and out one side—some of the oil comes out but
it’s really thick, it’s more like a cream.
So let’s go ahead and put that through the machine and show you how it works.
So you want to feed just a very little bit in at a time.
You do not want to overload the machine by any means, because coconut’s pretty thick
there.
So you just want to feed in a little bit at a time.
And as you can see there, we’re getting like a cream, almost even an oil.
And look at that come out, it’s surely liquid!
We’re literally juicing the coconut flakes!
The Omega 8006 is powerful enough, literally, to extract the oil out of this coconut.
Truly amazing.
So as you can see, the fiber coming out is really dry.
Of ocurse you can still use that if you like.
Now—see I started feeding it in too fast and the machine stopped.
Now when that happens, it’s not a problem with the Omega 8006.
You pressed the momentary reverse.
You go reverse for a second, and then you go forward, and look!
It’s still working—no problem.
So now we just want to make sure we don’t fee din too much.
We don’t feed it in too fast.
We just feed it in at a nice and slow pace, you know, a little bit at a time.
Let the machine chew it up, let the machine work.
this—this process of making coconut oil, raw coconut oil, is very special.
Not a lot of people make truly raw coconut oil.
And when you make it in your home, that’s the best.
It’s gonna be less espensive.
I mean, a bottle of coconut oil is what, ten, fifteen, twenty dollars, depending on where
you go?
Same thing with the coconut butter we’re going to be making next.
I know that stuff sells for a least ten to fifteen dollars a jar.
And when you buy it in the sotre, you’re not getting the same quality when you make
it at home.
When you make it at home, you know how it’s processed.
You don’t know what they’re doing when companies make things and put it in a bottle
or jar.
Look at all this!
This is so liquid.
This is really great.
Coconut is one of my facorite foods in the whole wide world.
So the best coconuts to use when making this coconut oil is actually the brown coconut.
So you may have saw that I used some white coconuts, and that’ll also work, but the
brown coconuts have a more mature meat with a higher fat content.
So that’s defintieyl gonna be the best one to use.
And don’t even try using the Thai cocnuts to do this.
It’s just not gonna work.
the oil content is not big enough, high enough in the young Thai coconuts.
So we’re finishing up here, and I don’t want to feed the coconut in too fast.
We’re gonna let the machine work and do what it needs to do in it’s own time and
not try to be impatient.
So there we go, we finished putting all that thorugh.
And now the amazing thing is with the Omega 8006 juicer, you think this pulp cake, the
press cake still has some more oil left in it, what you can do is actually take this,
put it back through the machine a second time.
And watch!
Check out the oil coming out below.
It’s gonna further pres and get more liquid out of this press cake.
It’s not gonna be as much as the first pressing, but you know—look!
Look, there’s still oil coming off of that.
And you could put it through multiple times.
Now you don’t want to put it through too fast cause you’re definitely gonna pause
the machine up—freeze trhe amcihne up.
But look, we’re still getting liquid off this press cake.
That’s hoefficient the Omega 8006 juicer is.
So we just got done making the coconut oil in the Omega 8006 Nutrion Center, and this
is what we have.
And what we want to do is actually set on top of your dehydrator or some other place
that’s warm in your house.
We’re gonna go ahead and turn the dehydrator on when we’re using it.
I owuldn’t want to just waste electricity, but if we have it full of other things we
could set it on top, or even if you wanted to set it inside that would be a good place.
And what’ll happen is basically all the things—basically all the pariculates and
coconut, the cream will literally settle to the bottom.
The coconut butter will literally settle to the bottom.
And the oil will float up to the top.
And then you’re gonna basically let it dry and harden and then you’ll actually see
it.
It’ll be all white at the top and then it’ll be colored at the bttom, and then you’ll
be able to scoop that out and put it in it’s out jar or container.
