About the Brand
Nutiva began in 1999 as an idea in the mind of John W. Roulac, the author of four books on home composting and industrial hemp. Nutiva is the third successful business John has founded since jump-starting the modern home-composting movement in the early 1990s with his best-selling book, Backyard Composting. That book has sold more than a million copies worldwide.

Nutiva is an innovative leader in the health food industry. Since 1999, we have operated as a values-driven company dedicated to nourishing people and planet.

We're building a business characterized by high standards in all aspects of our company, from the organic farms that grow our foods, through the production, packaging, and transportation of our products, to the Nutiva associates who communicate with our retailers and the people who enjoy our products.

Our watchwords--nutritious superfoods, healthier people, and a sustainable planet--express our commitment to move beyond conventional food industry practices to embrace a bigger picture that supports the long-term well-being of humanity as a whole.

Nutiva's purpose is to produce the highest-quality organic superfoods, providing superior nutritional value to our customers while supporting sustainable agricultural practices and a fair return to the farmers on whom we depend. We donate 1% of our sales to groups that promote sustainable agriculture.

We educate people worldwide on current developments in nutritional science, organic farming, green energy, and fair trade practices within the global economy.

At Nutiva, we continually innovate so that we can better contribute to the health and happiness of our customers as well as the sustainability of our planet.

Hemp was cultivated in China more than 6,000 years ago, from a wild plant that grew in central Asia.

A Nutritional Powerhouse
Hempseed is considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet. Shelled hempseed is packed with 33% pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA. A recent report funded by the Canadian government states that hemp protein comprises 66% high-quality edistin protein, and that hempseed contains the highest percentage of this of any plant source. Unlike soy, hemp is not genetically modified, and it doesn't contain the anti-nutritional qualities commonly found in soy.

Got Your EFAs today?
Because the human body produces no Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), it is important that EFAs be consumed on a regular basis. It is estimated that more than 90% of Americans take in too little of one of the most important EFAs--omega-3--which is found in flax, walnuts, deep-water fish, and hempseeds. EFAs are the "good fats" that doctors recommend as part of a healthy, balanced diet. The quality of omega-3 is vital, and can be diminished by oxygen, heat, and light. Thus consume the freshest seeds possible and store them in a dark, cold environment such as a refrigerator. Nutiva obtains its seeds exclusively from Canada, and we date all our products. Great nutrition never tasted so good.

Customer Reviews

Yummy
This oil couldn't be better. I have been using it in and on everything since I got it, for myself and especially for the wee ones in the house. They love it, especially in things like smoothies and oatmeal. I've also been using it on my face at night and wow; I'm young and don't have many skin issues yet but this oil makes my skin super smooth. I wish Nutiva made more coconut products because the taste is excellent. I prefer it to Tropical Traditions hands down.

A great recipe I have discovered with this oil is sweet potato fries. My kids love fries like most kids do, but I don't want them to have the white potato fried variety. Frying some thin sliced sweet potato in this oil and dusting them with a bit of salt and pepper is very very yummy. The kids don't miss the bad fries a bit!

I am hoping Nutiva EVCO is available again soon as my first jar is nearly gone!

This is the Best Coconut Oil I have Found!
I did a little research on oils and found that coconut oil in one of the best oils you can use. Olive oil is great but it can go rancid and should not be used at high heats(Never fry with olive oil). I bought some Coconut oil from Swanson Vitamins and it was great. Out of curiosity I ordered the Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut oil from Amazon and it was even better. I actually ate a teaspoon of each to test the flavor. Thats the best way to test them. It has a smooth nutty taste but does not alter the flavor of the food I cook. Coconut oil is such a healthy choice compared to most oils.Just google coconut oil to see.
Since your skin is an organ and absorbs everything you put on it this works great on your skin. I guess it's the purity of this because it doesn't leave a coconut smell on your skin like coconut scented store bought skin products do. You can use it on your hair too if you're into oil treatments on your hair.
I felt the price paid was very fare and It's available for Amazon's new subscription program which saves me an additional 10% off each order shipped. I have them send out a 2 pack evbery 6 months currently but may have to change that if I can find more uses for this oil.

I LOVE*LOVE*LOVE Nutiva E-V Coconut Oil
So many product claims these days turn out to be dismal disappointments. NOT true with Nutiva Coconut Oil!

The smell is divine, the texture lovely, the taste is heavenly. I consume at least 4 tablespoons daily, starting with melting a teaspoon in my morning coffee. This is "butter" for my veggies, oil for sauteing, my face and body moisturizer, once-a-week hair conditioning treatment, the family sunburn ointment - you name it, I put coconut oil on it!

I have dealt with hypothyroid for 10 years, and this is the first time in all of these years that the swelling in my neck at the thyroid area has actually decreased! I'm continuing with my thyroid meds, but to me, to see decreased swelling is amazing.

I've had skin breakouts on my chin on and off since starting peri-menopause (had to be hormonal) and I have not had a single one in a very long time. I have to say that when I first started using coconut oil both internally and externally, it drew out some nasty acne. I have read that this is a natural reaction, as the coconut oil is not only a yeast killer resulting in a die-off reaction (Herxheimers Reaction), but it draws the bacteria out of the interior layers of the skin, often bringing on an outbreak of acne that gets worse before it gets better. Well - everything in that run-on sentence happened, but after a week, my skin became glowing, smooth and gorgeous.

I've ordered this exact jar of coconut oil from other companies at $21+ shipping a pop. No more - I'll order it through Amazon to get two at a little over $17 each. Great price for an INCREDIBLE product!!

Nutiva EVCO ~ I love ya' baby, don't ever change. :^D
