Is hydrogenated coconut oil still coconut?
Yes. Hydrogenated coconut oil is coconut oil that has been hardened so it stays solid at room temperature. Hydrogenation changes the fat, not the plant it came from.
In food it is used in chocolate-flavoured coatings, non-dairy creamers, whipped toppings and some sweets. In cosmetics it shows up in lip balms, sticks and creams.
On a label: hydrogenated coconut oil · aceite de coco hidrogenado · aceite de coco parcialmente hidrogenado
