Palm oil is naturally yellow in color. The oil extraction process involves roasting and grinding the seeds, then processing them to extract the oil. Palm kernel oil is often confused with palm oil, which comes from the pulp of the palm fruit. It is found in many foods, but it also has uses in other industries.
Palm kernel oil has special melting properties because it melts relatively quickly at body temperature. It contains essential fatty acids and vitamins A, E and K.
