Benefits of Red Palm Oil


There is oil that has a great deal of benefits and that is Red Palm Oil

 

BENEFITS OF RED PALM OIL

 

The health benefits of red palm fruit oil can be achieved by incorporating only 1-2 tablespoons into your daily diet.

It can be placed in small amounts in tomato based dishes. I add it to my home made spaghetti sauce, crab and shrimp gumbo, stews and soups with tomatos.

 

 The health benefits are only achieved due to the red color of the palm fruit oil that is attributed to its high content of carotenes, which include beta-carotene and lycopene.

 

These powerhouse antioxidant nutrients are the same ones that give tomatoes and carrots and other fruits and vegetables their rich red and orange colors. What may shock you is that red palm fruit oil contains more that tomatoes or carrots. Red palm fruit oil is also densely packed with numerous tocotrienols – a powerful form of vitamin E.
