Red Palm Oil
Red Palm Oil is extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree (not the kernel). The beautifully colored oil is rich in healthy saturated fats, much like coconut oil, which is very beneficial. It gets its beautiful red color from the beta carotene and lycopene that it’s just waiting to bless your body with. It is also said to have 20 other carotenes as well as Vitamin E, Vitamin K, CoQ10, Squalene among other elements. These nutrients are found in the raw, unrefined oil, not the white colored oil which has been called purified but is actually stripped of most of its benefits.
