Good fats: unrefined red palm oil rocks!

[LightLover]

For the discussion about good fats, there was not so much about unrefined
red palm oil, which is one of the best sources of carotenoids and vitamin E. :p

Just for information, not to promote or advise a brand the following:

Light Lover,

I bought some virgin red palm oil recently, but I have not used it.

What do you do with yours??

Seagrass7, I am not doing special things with it.

* It is just: whenever I feel enthausiastic about a product or an idea
or happening etc... , and I see there is no thread about such a topic, I enjoy to make a new thread.


This is where I buy it, (not yet in English text)

Honestly I think of "good fats" as a fat that occurs naturally in a food, like avocadoes, nuts, seeds, olives, coconut etc.

I tend to think of anything extracted as an unnecessary fat. I think to purposely consume a spoonful of a concentrated pure fat is not a particularly natural way to eat.

Some of the recipes I make and eat are not found in nature, and once in a while do have a little bit of oil in them, usually for consistency.

I do agree. I think it has more to do with comfort/ less work than with
using our knowledge of foodpicking, when using oils in stead of for example buying young coconuts. It's a lillte bit like sad habits...

That said, maybe you can use it in a salad dressing recipe instead of olive oil?

Yes, I mentioned this product months ago. It is a gorgeous dark orange (would be great for Halloween or Autumnal recipes). It has a distinct flavor; it is not neutral or bland.

It would be really nice in spicy or ethnic recipes. It marries beautifully with Latin cuisine. Indian, curries, Thai...anything spicy.

The very high natural carotenoids make this excellent for the skin (externally), which is how I use it, mainly.

Best,
