Many products state that the ingredients contain palm oil, but what is palm oil? To the question: “what is palm oil?” is a simple answer. Palm oil is a vegetable oil that comes from the fruits of the oil palm. The oil palm occurs in a tropical climate. These oil palms do not come from the Netherlands but are often exported to the Netherlands from tropical areas. Factories often use palm oil in their products. This is because palm oil has no taste of its own, so it does not add anything or change the taste of the product. However, the palm oil ensures that products such as butter, jam, peanut butter, etc. are easily spreadable. This way you don’t have to put in a lot of effort in the morning while greasing the bread, but your bread is spread within a few seconds. Has your question what is palm oil been answered?
