Organic Coconut Oil is a clear or slightly cloudy liquid at temperatures above 26°C. As it cools, it forms white 'pearls' & starts to solidify. Below 22°C it is a white solid. If the oil is solid, place the container in warm water to melt it or simply scoop it out. No need to refrigerate. Information at the Coconut Research Centre www.coconutresearchcenter.org
