What it is
Palm oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree. It is a semi-solid at room temperature and is widely used in cooking and food manufacturing. The oil is extracted from the pulp of the fruit.
Why it's used
Palm oil is used in a wide variety of processed foods due to its texture and stability. It functions as a fat or oil, providing richness and mouthfeel, and also acts as a preservative to extend shelf life. It is commonly found in baked goods, snacks, processed meats, and confectionery.
Health notes

Some studies suggest a link between high intake of certain saturated fats and cardiovascular health, while others indicate that the specific fatty acid profile of palm oil may have different effects.
