So I got to learn that MOST of the so called 'veg oil' on the market is BLEACHED palm oil (so it's a vegetable, who knew).
Juuust check the ingredients of ANY bottle or sachet you buy.

Once upon a time, you could get REAL groundnut oil, but it's now a rare commodity, no thanks to the economy.

I use palm oil for cooking, frying, baking, lining my bread pan, etc.
I mean, why pay more money for a product that's lost MOST of it's nutrients?

And it could be deadly to your heart...

To be clear, this is NOT a health warning; just a personal opinion.

Your thoughts?
God bless 🇳🇬

There are many branded quality groundnut oil you can get in the market if you really have to use good "vegetable" oil.

You & your children can also stop
using mar margarine since it's also
made from Palm oil.

Simply use the palm oil on their
sandwiches🍔

Add goose fat if your palm oil if you don’t want to use the more conventional vegetable oils to semi-bleach it. Goose fat has a neutrally pleasant flavour that goes well with anything, from toast to okra to puff-puff to rice. I hardly butter my toast without it now.

true, but the source is the same.
and what's removed is packed with nutrients, especially beta carotenes.
so you pay more for less.
