24 Oz Raw Extra Virgin Red Palm Oil Organic Unrefined (2 of 12 Oz bottles)

Description

Virgin Palm Oil is palm oil that is traditionally made and maintains the natural nutrients of carotenes (precursors to Vitamin A) and the antioxidant tocotrienols (Vitamin E).
Typical RBD (Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized) palm oil has these nutrients stripped from them resulting in a clear oil. In its natural state, palm oil is red in color because of a high concentration of carotenes and tocols. Palm oil comes from a tropical palm tree (elaeis guineensis – NOT the same as coconut palm trees), which is native to the tropical areas of Africa, where it grows wild. This can be a traditional oil used for more than 5000 years in African countries, where small-scale family farms flourish. The palm oil palm used to be introduced to South East Asia in the early 1900s, and Malaysia is now the world leader in exports of palm oil (Tropical Traditions does NOT source palm oil from there.) Being an introduced crop to Asia, they’re mainly harvested from large plantations.
Even supposing scarcely used in the United States, palm oil is the most heavily consumed dietary oil on this planet after soybean oil. If one were to exclude the U.S. where some of the world’s soybean oil is consumed, palm oil would be the preferred dietary oil on this planet.
Palm oil traditionally has been used for baking, shortenings, margarines and deep fat frying, as it is shelf stable with a high melting point and does NOT require hydrogenation. Due to this fact, it contains no trans fatty acids.
