The Amazing Skin Benefits Of The Red Palm Oil

-

The Red Palm oil is popularly recognised as a cooking ingredient, especially in African and South Asian countries. This amazing food ingredient has been in use for over 5000 years now.

The red palm oil is usually mistaken for palm kernel oil, but they are different in colour and composition. While the red palm oil is obviously 'red' and low in saturated fats but high in vegetable fat, the palm kernel oil is dark and quite high in saturated fats.

Another obvious difference in both is the method of oil extraction. The red palm oil is extracted from the pulp of the palm kernel fruit, after series of processes like cooking, mashing, filteration and settling, the palm kernel oil is extracted from the fleshy seed inside the palm kernel fruit. The processes involved here is breaking of the palm kernel hard covering ( this is done after the red palm oil might have been extracted, leaving the hard part of the fruit), the fleshy seeds are placed inside a dry pot on a low heat medium. The dark liquid will be extracted.

The red palm oil has a higher beta- carotene than carrots, rich in vitamins A and E.
These vitamins, gives the red palm oil it's characteristic amazing skin benefits.
