Red palm oil is a natural edible oil extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). Unlike refined palm oil, it retains its deep reddish-orange color because it is minimally processed, preserving its rich content of carotenoids (beta-carotene and lycopene) and vitamin E (tocotrienols and tocopherols).
Key Features:
• Color & Aroma: Distinct red-orange hue with a characteristic earthy, slightly nutty flavor.
• Nutritional Value: Packed with antioxidants, vitamins A & E, and healthy fats.
• Culinary Use: Widely used in African, Caribbean, and South American cooking. It adds color, flavor, and richness to traditional dishes such as stews, soups, and porridges.
• Health Benefits: Supports eye health, skin nourishment, heart health, and provides a natural source of energy.
