Coconut measures high for nickel and coconut oil does not, because the metal stays with the solids. It is the same split as every pressed oil, and it is the reason the other coconut products do not inherit the answer: the oil is the only one of them that leaves the flesh behind. The second French Total Diet Study put tofu at the top for nickel, then chocolate and confectionery, then cereals — all foods that keep their mineral fraction. No pressed oil appears in its groups at all.
