Palm oil is a reddish-orange vegetable oil derived from the pulp of oil palm fruits. Solid at room temperature in cooler climates, it melts easily and has a neutral to slightly nutty flavor.
Widely used in cooking, cosmetics, and industrial applications, palm oil is high in saturated fats. It's prized for its long shelf life, stability at high heat, and cost-effectiveness. Sustainable sourcing is increasingly emphasized due to environmental concerns.
