Description
It is distinct from vibrant red palm oil, which is pressed from the outer fleshy pulp of the same fruit.
Highly valued in West African and Ghanaian culinary traditions, it provides a stable cooking medium with a smooth, neutral to slightly nutty flavor. Because it is highly saturated, it remains solid at room temperature and possesses excellent resistance to high-heat cooking. Beyond its culinary uses, palm nut oil is a prized ingredient in cosmetics, soaps, and traditional skincare remedies due to its deeply moisturizing properties, high vitamin E content, and exceptional stability.
