* Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil
Its deep red/orange color comes from a high concentration of carotenes like betacarotene (provitamin A) and lycopene, the antioxidants found in carrots and tomatoes, but which occur in red palm fruit oil in much higher concentrations. The body converts betacarotene into vitamin A, which helps promote a strong immune system and builds good vision. Red palm fruit oil is one of the richest natural sources of tocotrienols and tocopherols (vitamin E) that act as scavengers of damaging free
radicals and play a protective role against aging and atherosclerosis. The combination of vitamin E, tocotrienols, carotenes, coenzyme Q10, and other antioxidants makes red palm fruit oil a super- antioxidant food.
The antioxidant power of this unique oil may help protect against diseases such as osteoporosis, cataracts, macular degeneration, arthritis, and liver disease. Plus, it can help protect the skin from UV- ray damage and premature aging. And because red palm fruit oil goes directly to the liver, it not only doesn’t get stored as fat like traditional oils but it actually helps ignite the metabolism and helps you burn calories from fat much faster.
Suggested uses: As is, on vegetables, in salads, spread on bread, for cooking, baking, high-heat frying, etc. No refrigeration required. Naturally thickens to a paste.
Red palm fruit oil is an excellent source of vitamins A and E. It contains 3 to 6 times more retinol equivalents than carrots, and 40 to 50 times more retinol equivalents than tomatoes (weight for weight). Among all vegetable oils, red palm fruit oil has by far the highest level of naturally occurring tocotrienols (11 mg per 15 ml portion); tocopherols and tocotrienols are two forms of vitamin E, an antioxidant. Red palm fruit oil is non?hydrogenated. Contains 1.2 mg coenzyme Q10 per 15 ml portion. No artificial colours or preservatives.
