⠀
Coconut oil is the richest natural source of MCTs (Medium-Chain Triglyceride). MTCs can help with improving glucose tolerance. This is because MCTs go straight from the digestive tract into the liver without needing bile to break it down. They are then used for energy rather than being stored in the body like other types of fats.
⠀
I have used extra dark chocolate for the coating. Chocolate is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that nourish gut bacteria, it’s also rich in magnesium, my favourite mineral to support hormones."
