A Month of Family Meals
From Shereen Jegtvig, your Guide to Nutrition
Day One
Roast Chicken Breasts, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans
Tonight is a simple and comforting meal with chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans and a side salad. You can have this whole meal ready in about 45 minutes. The chicken is roasted, not fried, which keeps the fat grams down. The green beans are dressed up with almonds and lemon, and the salad is easy to make and delicious -- a great way to up your vegetable intake. Get the recipes!

This is part of the Month of Family Meals program.

Palm Oil: What Is It Used For?

Palm oil is actually a popular type of cooking oil. It is quite versatile and can be used for both cooking and deep frying. This is due to itl being quite stable at a high temperature and it has nutritional benefits. If it is so versatile, then where do people use it?
Let's take a quick glimpse at which foods can be made with palm oil. This kind of oil is used in the making of sweets or candy, chocolate, biscuits and even in the manufacturing of spices, amongst others. Palm oil is also a nutritious ingredient. When it is freshly extracted it has a high content of vitamin E, it contains vitamin A pigment and is a natural source of beta carotene. It also has a balance of mono saturated and saturated fats. Palm oil is a formidable cooking and frying oil and should not be underestimated. When it is used in the correct proportions, it has nutritional benefits. More foods that are made with this oil include certain ice-creams, crisps and milk.
Furthermore, this oil is more versatile than you might think. It is also used in many beauty products. Possibly due to its nutritional benefits, it is also used in the manufacturing of certain non-edible products. These beauty products include soaps, face creams, anti-aging creams and make-up. As mentioned earlier, freshly extracted palm oil contains vitamin E and vitamin A. Vitamin E has an antioxidant function and Vitamin A includes retinol. This type of oil contains two important vitamin substances that are sought after in beauty products because of their beneficial qualities.
If you think about it, at least one food item that you eat or used today could contain palm oil. Considering that, I think that it is quite important to know what you're eating, especially what ingredients are going into the foods that you consume. I must say that I'm relieved to know that palm oil has nutritional benefits for both the inside and the outside of my body; and that is not harmful to my health or skin.
You probably didn't think of palm oil in this way. That's why it is considered a versatile oil ingredient. It can be used as an edible ingredient in certain dessert food recipes and also as an agent in beauty products. It is a popular product and you may be using one of these items on a daily basis.
Our core focus at Golden Fry is to provide specially customized products and services to Restaurants, Take-Aways, Food Manufacturers, Caterers, Wholesalers, Supermarkets and Spaza Shops. We are an approved used oil collector.
Our Range includes: Palm Oil, Sunflower Oil, Soya Oil and Blended Oil.
