Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp of the fruit of the oil palms, primarily the African oil palm Elaeis Guineensis. Palm oil is naturally reddish in color because of a high beta-carotene content. European countries are now boycotting oil palm for a few reasons and one of them is deforestation as a result of planting oil palms. Palm oil is the source of vitamin E and saturated fats.
