Red Edible Oil

Red edible oil, also known as refined palm oil, is a product of crude palm oil that does not go
through a refining or bleaching process like regular palm cooking oil. This oil has a striking light
color and strong aroma, derived from palm oil which is indeed dark red. The advantages of red edible
oil include a lower price than cooking oil in general, and the production and management of the mill
is carried out by palm oil farmer cooperatives. The benefits of red edible oil include high vitamin A
and E content, the ability to overcome oil scarcity among farmers and communities around oil palm
plantations, and the role in overcoming stunting problems, especially in rural areas. In addition, red
eating oil can also be used as a supplement to help people from stunting because of its great
nutritional value compared to ordinary cooking oil. With its unique characteristics, red edible oil has
the potential as an innovation in the use of palm oil, not only as a frying ingredient, but also as a
nutritional supplement that benefits public health (Finaka, 2022).
