About Palm oil

Palm oil is a versatile cooking oil derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree, native to West Africa but widely cultivated in tropical regions. It’s a staple in many cuisines, particularly in Southeast Asian, African, and South American dishes. Rich in saturated and unsaturated fats, palm oil is a significant source of energy and contains vitamin E and beta-carotene, promoting skin health and immune support. However, due to its high saturated fat content, excessive consumption may contribute to heart health concerns. Palm oil’s neutral flavor and high smoke point make it ideal for frying and baking, but it’s also heavily used in processed foods. While it’s nutritionally beneficial in moderation, the environmental impact of palm oil production has sparked concerns about sustainable sourcing, urging consumers to choose certified sustainable options whenever possible.
