This is as rich and tasty as when you use dairy cream, but is suitable for people who can’t tolerate dairy products. The fat in coconut oil is extremely healthy – it’s easily used as energy, aids absorption of vitamins in the cabbage, and is antiviral and antifungal, so it’s great for immunity and warding off winter snivels too.
