What is the impact of palm oil farming on the environment? It is estimated that a French person consumes on average 2 kg of palm oil per year, or 6% of total fat consumption of an adult between the ages of 18 and 72 (source: Fonds Français pour l’Alimentation et la Santé, Etat des lieux, November 2012). India, China, Indonesia and Europe are the main consumers of palm oil. This makes palm oil the least expensive vegetable oil in the world. It needs less than half the land required by other crops to produce the same amount of oil. It is also the highest-yielding vegetable oil crop, which makes it very efficient.
It has a natural preservative effect which extends the shelf life of food products.Its smooth and creamy texture and absence of smell make it a perfect ingredient in many recipes, including baked goods (such as biscuits) in particular.It has great cooking properties – it maintains its properties even under high temperatures.
