Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from palm fruit

one of the most widely used vegetable oils. It is commonly used in margarine,
instant noodles, biscuits, lipsticks, ice-cream, shampoos, detergents, bread,
candles, chocolates, and cereals. The cultivation of palm oil is very
profitable because mostly palm trees yield more oil per hectare than any other
major oilseed crop. The oil can be classified into palm kernel oil, crude palm
oil, and others. Crude palm oil is derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree.
