I've been curious about palm oil for a while now and I recently saw a commercial for it on cable so I thought I'd get some of your thoughts on it. I don't think it's wisely available here but I'm sure I can hunt one down if I thought it was worth the effort. I hear that it's a much healthier oil and it tastes better but I'd love to hear first from someone who has used it already. Anyone here who uses palm oil? Have you completely substituted all the old types you used to use? Is it really that much better than an oil like canola?
I've seen this in Trader Joe's lately and curious about the taste. Do you know what the health benefits are or how it can be used in cooking? Though most oils keep for a while, does this need refrigeration after opening or does it have a short shelf life?
Did you know around 1000 orangutans are killed every year due to the deforestation required for the production of palm oil. Please look for palm oil that has been produced sustainably. Log In
