What it is

Coconut palm kernel is the seed found inside the coconut fruit, which grows on the coconut palm tree. The kernel is separated from the shell and then processed to extract oil, which is used in food products. It is a source of saturated fat.

Why it's used

Coconut palm kernel oil is used as a fat or oil in many food products, particularly in baked goods, confectionery, and ice cream. It provides a distinct flavor and texture, and its high melting point makes it useful in coatings and certain types of margarine.

Health notes

Coconut palm kernel oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of saturated fats. While some studies suggest potential health benefits of coconut oil, others highlight concerns about its high saturated fat content and its impact on blood cholesterol levels. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting saturated fat intake.

Allergen info

Coconut is not considered one of the nine major allergens by the FDA. It is botanically a fruit, not a tree nut.
