The uniqueness of Palm fruit (Elaeis Giunensis)-The Local/Manual Processing of Palm Oil (photos)
I am sure many Nairalanders have tasted the wonderful food called palm oil but it is obvious that majority of them do not know how or where or which way it comes about.
The palm oil is a very important food, very rich in Vitamin A which helps for clearer eyes and to prevent eye problems.
Now, the locally/manually made palm produces the best of all palm oils and goes through the following processes with photos below.
1. Cutting of the palm nuts from the palm tree and chopping them off the stem to allow them fall off in bits
2. Carefully picking the fruits off the chaff and thorns to produce your edible palm fruits
3. Boiling for considerable hours until it is very soft
4. Pour into a very wide ikwe (mortar)and mash with foot until it becomes thoroughly mashed
5. Add water generously and separate oil from kernel and chaff (which also serves as firewood)[/b][b]
6 Boil the oil for a specified time and separate from water (Ogiri)
7 Boil your wonderful oil the second time
