About WEST AFRICAN RED PALM OIL
This vibrant, unrefined oil is derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree in West Africa. Agbanga Karite's product is hand-pressed and Fair Trade certified. With a rich, reddish hue, it boasts a high fat content (100g per 100g serving) and is calorie-dense (929 calories per 100g). It contains no protein or carbohydrates.
Red palm oil is a source of fat-soluble vitamins, particularly Vitamin E, and carotenoids like beta-carotene, a precursor to Vitamin A.
