Palm oil is a widely used vegetable oil derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis), native to West Africa. It is one of the most versatile oils, used in food production, cosmetics, biofuels, and more. Palm oil has a distinctive red-orange color due to its high beta-carotene content. It is known for its high cooking temperature tolerance, making it ideal for frying and deep-frying. Palm oil is also considered a more sustainable option compared to other oils when sourced from responsible, certified plantations.
