Frequently Asked Questions

What gives red palm oil its color? Natural beta-carotene and other carotenoid pigments from the palm fruit’s outer layer (mesocarp) give red palm oil its characteristic orange-red color. These same pigments are found in carrots and tomatoes.

Is red palm oil the same as palm kernel oil? No — red palm oil comes from the outer fleshy part (mesocarp) of the palm fruit and is naturally red. Palm kernel oil comes from the inner seed and is white/pale yellow with a different flavor and fatty acid profile.

Is red palm oil sustainable? Sustainability varies by source and certification. Look for RSPO-certified (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) products when sustainability is a priority.
