Organic Palm Oil

Organic palm oil is produced from the fruit of the oil palm Elaenis guinnesis. Its generic name is derived from Greek elaia, which means olive, on account of its fruits which is rich in oil.  Oil palms comprise of two species of the Arecaceae or palm family. The African Oil Palm Elaenis guinnesis is native to west Africa, while the American Oil Palm Elaesis oleifera is native to tropical Central America and South America. The trees from both species grow along streams, in swamps and savannas. Although humans have been known to consume oil palm for more than 5000 years, commercial planting and cultivation only started in Malaysia in the mid-1990's.
