Red palm oil is culinary oil with a mild carrot–like taste. Its rich, buttery flavor makes for excellent medium–heat sautéing and is a terrific addition to soups, rice, stews, popcorn, sauces and fish. Nutiva’s Organic Red Palm Oil comes from small organic family farms in Ecuador and is cultivated in harmony with nature (no rainforests or orangutan habitats are harmed). Nutiva not only responsibly produces fine products for your table, but the company also funds social programs to help farm families in Ecuador. • Josh Dwinell, Specialty Grocery
