Great news for all you coconut lovers out there; we have new
coconut products in our grocery department from Dua Dua Coconut Products. Dua
Dua is a sustainable company with their process starting in a small village in the Solomon Islands, South
Pacific where the coconuts are picked and then shipped to Portland to be processed
in small batches into several types of coconut products ranging from raw oil, a decadent syrup,
to soaps and detergent. According to Dua Dua, they “are 3rd generation Coconut farmers [who] decided to
increase employment opportunities for local villagers via downstream processing
of coconut products. [They] provide high quality, natural, healthy
coconut based products while providing income opportunities that would not
otherwise exist and for the remote villagers of Solomon Islands, South Pacific.”
Dua Dua Coconut Products use pure raw coconut oil sourced
from high quality, cruelty free organic coconuts and is extracted through a
centrifuge process that doesn’t heat the oil above 113 degree F, making this a
truly raw oil. Great for those of you on the paleo or anyone simply looking to
eat cleaner, healthier fats. Coconut oil is loaded with LCFAs, one of the most
nutritious types of fats out there, and has long been regarded as a sacred food
by indigenous peoples where coconut has naturally grown for thousands of years.
All in all, we love that this company is working towards
sustainability, environmentally and economically, while simultaneously
producing pure organic and all natural coconut products that are safe and
effective. We’re carrying Dua Dua Raw Coconut oil in 16 oz jars, Dua Dua all
natural Laundry Bar & Stain Remover, and Dua Dua Bulk Laundry detergent.
