For more than 5,000 years, the rich, deep-red oil from the African Palm has been a treasured staple food for the indigenous people of Central and West Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia. Legend has it that in ancient times, this seemingly miraculous oil was so sacred and its live-giving properties so cherished that it was entombed with the pharaohs in ancient Egypt, ensuring their pleasure and happiness in the afterlife.

Although popular for eons among indigenous people, red palm oil was virtually unknown to the West until just a few decades ago. As science began to uncover the critical role of fatty acids in human health, the demand for quality fats and oils has grown by leaps and bounds. As such, the demand for, and production of red palm oil has significantly increased.

You may be aware that palm oil has been a major player in the deforestation and destruction of some of the Earth’s most biodiverse forests, including the natural habitats of already endangered species. Rest assured this is not the case with our red palm oil! It’s guaranteed sustainable and certified organic and very importantly displays the “Palm Done Right” promise on the label. This ensures the product is 100% organic, fully traceable, deforestation-free, wildlife friendly, and fair and social. You can read more about Palm Done Right here.
