So, what is palmvet?
Palmvet is a food ingredient derived from the fat of the oil palm tree. This versatile ingredient is commonly used in the food industry for its high melting point and stability at high temperatures, making it ideal for frying and baking. It is also used in the production of margarine and shortening due to its ability to solidify at room temperature. Palmvet has a neutral flavor and a smooth, creamy texture that adds richness to many dishes. However, its production has been controversial due to its impact on deforestation and wildlife habitat loss in some regions.
