Palm oil is everywhere especially in many of the processed foods we eat from instant noodles to chocolate. It may not be easy to spot as an ingredient but it’s a great oil that blends well with other ingredients and can be used in many ways. Some chefs find palm oil great for frying while others use it in place of canola or other vegetable oils in baking.
But there is some confusion about the uses and nutritional value of this ingredient partly because it has been used for so many different purposes but also partly because of its origins. The bright red color of palm oil is prized for its nutritional value but the refined kernel oil is what is found in many processed and shelf-stable commercial foods.
