Palm oil is a natural food that has been consumed for more than 5,000 years. It is physically refined – without the use of chemical solvents – thereby reducing the risk of residue contamination. Even more important, palm oil naturally possesses all the physical and sensory qualities necessary to prepare and manufacture a wide variety of foods, and therefore  does not require hydrogenation. As a result, it contains no undesirable trans fatty acids.

Palm oil is a natural source of tocopherols and tocotrienols, which make up the complete Vitamin E family. These dietary essentials act as natural anti-oxidants, which is believed to play an important role in the health of body cells. Unprocessed palm oil is also a rich source of beta-carotene, a key source of Vitamin A. Like other vegetable oils, it is also cholesterol free. Palm oil is easily digested, and effectively absorbed and utilized by the body. For centuries, it has been a critical and valuable source of sound nutrition for people around the world, and today continues to provide a natural, safe alternative for chemically-treated, hydrogenated oils.
