Palm oil is a fat extracted from the flesh of oil palm fruit. The figures here describe the oil itself, rather than foods made with it. Per 100g, it provides 3696 kJ of energy and 100g of fat, including 48g of saturated fat. It also provides 33mg of vitamin E.

Fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin E helps protect cells from damage. Palm oil’s saturated fat content and concentrated energy are relevant for people watching their saturated fat or energy intake. Replacing some saturated fat with unsaturated fat can help lower blood cholesterol. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
