Palm oil is a natural food consumed for more than 5,000 years. Palm oil is “fruit oil”, it is derived from the mesocarp of orange-red olive-sized fruits.  
It is a perennial crop and starts to bear fruit 3 years after planting and has an economic life span of 25 years.

No oil is used in so many ways and the phenomenal number of uses of palm oil is overwhelming. The wholesome and nutritious palm oil has now made its presence felt all over the world and become a universal food.  It is used worldwide as cooking oil, for shortening, margarine and also incorporated into fat blends and a variety of food products.
