10 Foods High in Saturated Fat
Saturated Fat Rich Food #5: Coconut
There is often debate over whether or not coconut is a fruit, a seed or a nut. Regardless, they fall from a tree, so they must be good for you, right? Not quite. Although coconuts are packed full of nutrition and compounds thought to provide various health benefits, they are also high in saturated fats.
If you wish to enjoy delicious, juicy fresh coconut, you will be consuming around 27 grams of saturated fats per 100 grams of coconut. That’s around 148% of the recommended daily limit. Unfortunately, it only gets worse with dried coconut, which packs around 57 grams of saturated fat per 100 g serving.
