Palm kernel oil is a versatile cooking ingredient extracted from the kernels of oil palm fruits. Rich in saturated fats and medium-chain triglycerides, it offers a high smoke point suitable for frying, baking, and sautéing. This golden oil delivers a subtle, slightly nutty flavor that complements both savory and sweet dishes. Traditionally used in African and Asian cuisines, palm kernel oil is prized for its stability and ability to enhance texture in baked goods and fried foods. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness and quality.
