Palm oil is a versatile and widely used vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the fruit of oil palm trees. It is a common cooking ingredient in Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of Brazil, and its use in the commercial food industry worldwide is widespread due to its lower cost and the high saturation of the refined product when used for frying. Many processed foods and various ingredients are made from it.
