Red Palm Oil
Golden Coast Foods takes pride in the quality of our products. Our Red Palm Oil is 100% natural and unrefined retaining all of its rich vitamin content. Our palm oil is made from dura palm fruits that have been traditionally grown in Ghana. We start by selecting our palm fruits from local farmers who grow the fruits using natural non-GMO methods. After selecting only the best quality fruits, we process them quickly to seal in their natural freshness. This allows us to present a product that is packed full of flavor, vitamins, and the traditional taste of Ghana.
Palm oil contains NO cholesterol, and NO trans fatty acids. It contains more vitamin E than any other natural source, and fifteen times more pro-vitamin A (carotenoids) than carrots! Our product is 100% pure virgin palm oil with no additives. It is delivered to you from the heart of Ghana where it is traditionally made from local palm fruits. If you are looking for that traditional taste in your cooking, or want a healthy alternative to high cholesterol oils, palm oil is your natural choice.

Vitamin A Carotenes
Virgin Red Palm Oil is one of the richest natural plant sources of carotenoids. Carotenoids are used to convert vitamin A in our bodies. Palm Oil contains more carotenoids than any other vegetable oil source.
Vitamin E Tocotrienols – Anti-oxidants
Palm Oil is a rich natural source of tocotrienols (vitamin E). Tocotrienols are powerfull antioxidants comprising of both tocotrienols and tocopherols. Tocopherols are found in many vitamin E supplements on todays market. Though tochpherols are the more commonly used in products, tocotrienols are believed to be a highly more effective antioxidant than tocopherols. Both tochpherlos and toctrienols are found in abundance in Red Palm Oil.

But I thought palm oil was highly saturated?
Palm oil is frequently confused with palm kernel oil, which is highly saturated. In contrast palm oil contains a balance of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids. In addition palm oil contains essential substances such as linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid which the body cannot manufacture) and tocopherols and tocotrienols, which act as natural anti-oxidants against damaging free-radicals.
What about cholesterol?
Like other vegetable fats palm oil is free from cholesterol. Because palm oil is solid at room temperature there is no need to use hydrogenation, a technique which hardens liquid oil but also produces damaging trans fatty acids and raises cholesterol levels in the process. Human feeding studies have shown that palm oil does not ordinarily raise blood cholesterol levels and in some cases has been found to lower harmful LDL-cholesterol.
