Crude Palm Oil, or CPO, is an oil that when first extracted from the palm nut kernel, is in its "crude" form, and must undergo further processing and refining to become "refined palm oil."
Palm Oil is one of the few natural oils to have a significant amount of "saturated fats" when compared to other vegetable oils such as olive oil and other vegetable oils, which are high in unsaturated fat. Crude Palm Oil, when extracted/expressed from the palm nut kernel, contains more natural Tocotrienols (vitamin e) than any other fruit or vegetable.
