Palm oil is extracted from the fruit of the oil palm, a tree that is grown mainly in Southeast Asia.

It is used to make hundreds of foods: chocolate spreads, biscuits, ice cream…

… and also beauty products: lipstick, shower gel…

… and even fuel to make biofuel.

Anyway, it’s the oil that’s used most in the world: it has many advantages. First, the price: it’s the cheapest oil there is!

And it keeps well… which means cakes and creams stay crunchy and soft longer.
