Red palm oil adds a delicious, buttery flavor and warm yellow color to a variety of dishes.

It can also be blended with other oils, such as olive or coconut for baking. For an easy way to add antioxidant-rich fats to your dinner, brush your favorite vegetables with Nutiva Red Palm Oil before or after broiling. Sprinkle with seasoning to taste.
We're excited to introduce our delicious organic Red Palm Oil grown on small organic family farms in NW Ecuador. By partnering with Natural Habitats in Ecuador we ensure that no deforestation or habitat destruction results from the growing or harvesting process. Nutiva is also promoting social programs in the area by building a small health clinic for the local doctor, and hiring a full-time soccer coach and providing uniforms for the local youth.
Organic and Sustainable
While Red Palm Oil grown in SE Asia often contributes to rainforest and orangutan habitat destruction, Nutiva's Organic Red Palm Oil does not. In fact, orangutans don't live in Ecuador, which is located in South America. In addition, most palm oil is non-organic, which results in farmers spraying Roundup or other harsh herbicides at the base of each tree twice a year. Organic growing practices avoid introducing these toxins into the environment.
