Carotino- A Healthier Alternative to Nigerian Red Palm Oil

Carotino Palm Oil

Being a Nigerian, it’s almost impossible to cook without using palm oil or red palm kernel oil in most Nigerian dishes. If you are looking for the healthiest alternative to palm oil, Carotino may be your best bet. Carotino is what I use as a replacement to the normal Nigerian cooking palm oil.

Carotino oil is a very good and a natural source of Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids. These are imperative for a good health because they cannot be manufactured by the body so we must supplement them in our diet. They also contain Co-enzyme Q10, which helps improve our energy level.

 Carotino oil is very versatile and offers a light flavour, so it won't over power delicate food flavours, while maintaining the rich colour desired without the health risks. It can withstand high heat without burning and it is 100% natural and Vegan-approved.

In addition to providing numerous vitamins, carotino is obtained from the fruit of the Red Palm Tree—not the kernel.It contains no harmful trans fat or artificial colours or preservative (it’s not hydrogenated) and is less saturated than palm kernel oil (where the saturated fat content is too high to be part of a healthy diet). Remember too much saturated fat can lead to heart problem and can raise cholesterol.

Here is why you should use Carotino oil as opposed to other cooking oil or palm oil;

v Its high in Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acid

v We all need antioxidants for a healthy immune system

v 100% natural

v It’s very rich in natural pro-Vitamin A and E

v No Artificial colourings or preservative, GMOs, trans fat, cholesterol or carbohydrates.

v Anti-oxidants fight cell damage caused by 'free radicals' in the body

v Very rich in Lycopene (a very powerful antioxidant)

You can get carotino oil from most of the major groceries stores in the UK, Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury, precisely in Asda it’s sold for £2.19.

Please bear in mind as much as its one of the few healthiest cooking oil out there, it must be used reasonably and not overused in cooking.
