Nutiva Organic Fair-Trade Ecuadorian Red Palm Oil, 15 Oz (Pack of 2), USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Sustainably-Sourced, Whole 30 Approved & Vegan, Non-Hydrogenated Oil for Cooking, Frying & Pet Care

Red palm oil is amazing for cooking don’t feed into the media lies. It smells good as well and is solid and sometimes separates. It has a red/orange appearance and is very digestible. You can also use it on your skin and hair making it a high value product. Red palm oil is full of carotenoids which are converted into vitamin A which is good for vision and organ function. We fry plantains, potatoes, Akara, and use it for veggie fried rice. We love this and u will too.

I try to be health conscious, and am impressed by this great, unrefined saturated oil- its a completely different story compared to refined palm oil- which is not healthy for you. The orange color is from all the vitamin A and it has a good deal of vitamin E, too. But its the taste- the fabulous taste of this red palm oil that makes it such a must have in the pantry. I use it all the time. And when we have guests and I make omelets or scrambled eggs for them, they rave about it. Its great to saute any meat- adds both tremendous flavour as well as a beautiful caramelized color. It tastes so good, that sometimes I just spread it on a cracker. The price is great, too. If I could, I'd give it ten stars. I buy 2 jars every 6 weeks, and I always use it up.

One of the most captivating features of this red palm oil is its vibrant and rich color. The beautiful deep red hue is visually appealing and immediately adds a touch of elegance to any dish. Cooking with Nutiva's Red Palm Oil has become a visual treat, as it infuses my creations with a captivating burst of color that entices both the eyes and the taste buds. Speaking of taste, Nutiva's Red Palm Oil delivers a flavor that is nothing short of delightful. It possesses a unique and distinct profile that is rich, buttery, and slightly earthy. This flavor adds depth and complexity to a variety of dishes, whether I'm stir-frying vegetables, sautéing meats, or even creating flavorful dressings. The oil's taste is both memorable and versatile, making it a truly remarkable ingredient in my kitchen.

Rich, buttery with no loud smell. Best palm oil I’ve used. Now, I can’t find it anywhere ☹️

This palm oil is not red like it seems from the photo - it's yellow / light orange. I read on an African site that the yellow is not as good as the true red. Not sure if that's right though. I've never had red palm oil before and I bought this as an experiment after learning that it's relatively healthy (thinking it was all cheap and in snack food). I tasted some plain to start off. The taste was OK at first (very buttery), but it had a plasticy / stale after taste. Maybe that's just how palm oil tastes. IDK because I've never had it before. Then again, I hate the taste of olive oil and think it tastes plasticy too and never understood why people use it, so it could be just me. Anyway, it wasn't that bad, so I made cookies with it anyway. I used 50% butter and 50% palm oil (I normally use 100% butter). The cookie dough was greasier than normal and the chips got a oil coating on them and they almost fully separated from the dough. It wasn't a problem though after mixing a lot. The dough also didn't stick to the utensils much like it usually does. And it was a thinner consistency. The cookies cooked at the same rate and came out looking the same. However, they did stick to the tray more - strange cause it was the opposite earlier. The taste test: The cookies were still great, but I did notice a subtle difference. Not necessarily plasticy. They just didn't taste quite as "fresh". Don't get me wrong, they were still good. The aftertaste was like as if I had eaten a store bought cookie even though the main taste while eating it was fresh. It made me smile cause now I think I can pick out the subtle palm taste and sense it in a pre-made cookie. Overall, the cookies were still like 90% as good as normal, but would I buy this again? I don't think so. Maybe I'll get used to it and start to like it IDK. I'm definitely going to finish the container though. It's not worth throwing away.

I used to be able to find this at my local Kroger, but they stopped carrying it. I cook a lot of Brazilian food, especially dishes from Bahia. Red palm oil is an absolute staple as I know of nothing else that can compare to the flavor of this oil. I make fish stews with it, fry black eye pea fritters in it. Is so versatile and imparts a flavor you won’t find in anything else. You get two jars with this, and a little goes a long ways. And if you’re new to red palm oil, know that this stuff will stain your hands or anything else it touches. It is also a solid at room temp, much like coconut oil. But this is a great quality red palm oil that I always keep on hand.

I bought this oil to use when making birdy bread (with Harrison's organic bird food bird breads) for my geriatric cockatiel. It worked as expected for that purpose. Then when I realized it was going to take me decades to go through a jar if only using it for bird bread (1 tbs per batch), I figured *I* should start eating it, too. Red palm fruit oil is one of the healthiest oils for humans and birds. I have never tasted it before so I cannot comment/compare taste, but the oil is easy to use. I use it whenever I saute, make soups, or cook rice and beans. It is a vibrant orange-yellow, so be sure to wear an apron to protect your clothes from stains. The price here on Amazon (for a two-jar set) can't be beat. Also note: I exceeded the "best before" date by over a year (because of my one-tbs-at-a-time use at the beginning), but the oil never went rancid and was perfectly fine to use. I did keep it in the fridge to help prolong shelf-life.

This is a healthy alternative to other oils. I love the color it go ex to my dishes. It burns very fast on high heat so be mind and aloud of your temperature level. Very good tasting oil when combine with Africa spices. I use in all my Ethiopian recipes. The product last long when it's stored properly.. The size and having it portioned 2 smaller jars helps with storage and usage.

This is one of the few healthy unrefined oils that I cook with and it seems like a really good quality.
