Red Palm Oil!
Red Palm Oil, African Oil Palm, is cold pressed from the fruit of the Elais Guineensis palm tree. This palm tree can grow up to 65 feet, with leaves, dense clusters of flowers and large bunches of dark, orange-reddish, colored fruit. Each fruit is the size of a large plum with a fleshy outer layer and a seed, (palm kernel), inside. This tree flourishes in humid tropical weather and is native to west tropical Africa.
Red Palm Oil should not be confused with Palm Kernel Oil, which is pressed from the seeds, instead. Red Palm Oil is a powerhouse of nutrition! It contains more nutrients than any other dietary oil. Its dark red vibrant color comes from carotenes such as: alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lycopene. These nutrients are the ones that give carrots, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables their rich colors. In addition, it contains, at least, ten other carotenes, vitamin K benefits, CoQ10, squalene, phytosterois, flavonoids, pheolic acids and glycolipids. It’s rich with the benefits of vitamins A and E! It contains fifteen times more pro-vitamin A carotenes than carrots and three hundred times more than tomatoes! It has one of the richest sources of natural vitamin E benefits and antioxidants benefits! It's different, somewhat, from regular Palm Oil. It’s not refined and bleached. It contains more carotenoids, tocophenols and tocotrienols, with non-hydrogenated natural saturated fats, (50%), and unsaturated fats, (50%). The main type of unsaturated fat in Red Palm Oil is oleic acid, which is in Olive Oil, as well. Virgin Red Palm Oil is unrefined. It’s 100% pure and natural with no coloring or additives. It retains a high rich content of vitamins A and E! It has the fragrance of violets, (with an earthy scent) and taste similar to olive oil. It's used a variety of ways: to eat in foods, for cooking, for cosmetics or for making homemade soap!
