So, what is graisses végétales palme?
"Graisses végétales palme" is a French term that translates to "palm vegetable fats" in English. These fats are derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree and are commonly used in the food industry as a cheaper alternative to butter or other animal-based fats. Palm vegetable fats are highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including baking, frying, and as a general-purpose cooking oil. While palm vegetable fats can be a useful ingredient in many recipes, they have come under scrutiny in recent years due to concerns over their impact on the environment and the potential health risks associated with their consumption in large quantities.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
