The most widely used cooking oil in the world is palm oil. Derived from the fruit of the oil palm tree, palm oil is favored for its versatility, stability, and affordability. It is used extensively in various culinary applications, from frying and baking to salad dressings. Palm oil is praised for its high smoke point and long shelf life. However, its production has raised environmental concerns, primarily due to deforestation and habitat destruction associated with palm oil plantations. Efforts are underway to promote sustainable palm oil production practices to mitigate the ecological impact while meeting global demand.
