Red Palm Oil vs. Zomi: What's the Difference?
Red palm oil Pure, unrefined oil from the palm fruit. Rich red-orange color and a savory, slightly earthy flavor. The everyday choice for egusi, red red and stews. |
Zomi A Ghanaian favorite: palm oil cooked with spices like onion and pepper for a deeper, aromatic flavor. Amazing in red red, fried plantain and light stews. |
Why Cooks Love Red Palm Oil
Red palm oil gets its famous color from natural carotenoids. Research reviews note that unrefined red palm oil is a rich source of beta-carotene (which the body turns into vitamin A) and tocotrienols, a powerful form of vitamin E, and that it stays stable when heated for cooking. That's the richness and color that make West African dishes taste like home.
