Glorious, glorious Red Palm Oil (in front) ready to be sold in recycled vegetable oil bottles. Red Palm Oil is derived from the Mesocarp or the external, fleshy red section of a palm fruit . • Red Palm Oil has more carotenes (pro-Vitamin A) than tomatoes or carrots, hence its rich red color. Its highly heat stable, resistant to oxidation. Palm-Derived vitamin E called tocotrienols, aid in stroke prevention. Red Palm Oil has about 10-15% saturated fat which we now know (through 30 years of research) are actually good for us . • However Zomi, which is the concentrate & residue left over after cooking red Palm Oil has no significant nutritional benefits; it just taste so damn good. Also Palm Kernel oil derived from the kernel inside the palm does not have the nutritional benefits of Red Palm Oil . • So enjoy your dishes with your Red Palm Oil just as our grandmothers & great grandfathers were doing (which kept them living longer) knowing all the amazing properties it is. #EssieSpice #EssieSpiceItUp #SpiceEducation #RedPalmOil #Healthy
