Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 The thing is, Janice, that palm oil tastes like palm oil. It has a flavor all its own. I bought some a week ago & have been using it for cooking & putting it into the raw egg drink. I can't taste it much at all in cooking or the drink except that it seems to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients or foods. I think it has a rather mild, bland, sort of buttery flavor & just feels oily & smooth in the mouth. More like olive oil but heavier, thicker. Maybe " richer " is better word. So far I like it better than any other oil, including coconut oil or butter, for cooking. The coconut oil flavor remains sweet & strong on foods & rather overpoweringly so, I think. I don't like it eating it with meat, for instance. So I like the palm oil better since it doesn't interfere with other food flavors. Coconut oil has a much more distinct strong, sweet flavor by contrast. Palm oil doesn't have a sweet taste, but it's not at all bitter, sour or peppery either. I've tried three different brands of coconut oil & only one brand of red palm oil so far tho...Swanson. It costs $5.99 for a 16 oz jar. Others may have different opinions or taste buds & descriptions. But that's mine. The red palm oil will stain things yellow tho so ya gotta watch where it drips & wipe the jar or it will stain the counter top or wherever it's placed. Btw, $1.99 for coconut oil is a steal of a deal. Outrageously cheap. Depending on how many ounces you purchased, that is.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Info on red palm oil can be found at these sites. It's a good oil, but i don't think it kills candida like coconut oil. It's high in antioxidants and in vitamins E & A. It has a strong, exotic flavor. I like it with chicken especially. http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/red_palm_oil.htm http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com From google I found this site with traditional African recipes using palm oil, but you better check to see that all the ingredients are OK on our diet: http://www.congocookbook.com/c0226.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 A little bit ago someone mentioned that MountainRoseHerbs.com had high quality extra virgin coconut oil for only $28 a gallon + S & H. Well I decided to order some and saw that they had unrefined organic extra virgin palm oil for only $17 a gallon!!! This is an amazing price and I did order some and I will let you know of the quality when it comes. Shipping was reasonable as well. I have tasted both tropical traditions and Jungle Products Palm Oils, and can tell Jungle products is a higher quality product and will let you guys know how this oil from MountainRoseHerbs compares. If you aren't up to speed on Palm Oil, its a great natural source of vitamin E, carotenes, and healthy fats. It doesn't taste great but is pretty easy to eat by the spoonful. Tastes kinda like playdough without the salt though, lol! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 How does it compare nutritionally to coconut oil?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 It doesn't have a fat profile as good as coconut IMO. It doesn't have the high amounts of lauric acid, and is most just is close to equal parts saturated and monounsaturated fats. The saturated fat found in palm is mostly 16:0 palmitic acid. It still has very little PUFA's, and like I said before has a lot of Tocotrientols and is very very bright opaque orange due to high amounts of carotenes. - > > > A little bit ago someone mentioned that MountainRoseHerbs.com had high > > quality extra virgin coconut oil for only $28 a gallon + S & H. > > > > Well I decided to order some and saw that they had unrefined organic > > extra virgin palm oil for only $17 a gallon!!!

Has anyone tried it of know anything about it? ==>Caprilic acid is made from coconuts. I haven't looked into Palm oil however because coconut oil does the job nicely and it is very pleasant to take and easy to find good sources. I do not recommend taking caprilic acid capsules or tablets for that reason. It is better to get the real thing. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Palm Oil does not contain caprylic acid though. See: http://www.truehaus.net/food/data/oils.lipids1 (Caprylic is 8.0.) Coconut oil is your best source for caprylic acid. Dolores > > Hi all, > > I have read that Caprilic acid is also found in Palm oil as well as > Coconut oil.
