Palm Oil
Palm Oil is a oil. It is plant-derived, so it rules out no diet on its own.
Also known asDendê oil · Brazil
Red · per 100 g
Cited against refined palm oil. Unrefined dendê retains far more carotenoid pigment and vitamin A than a refined oil does; USDA publishes no separate record for it, so the vitamin A figure here understates the real dish.

USDA FDC SR Legacy record 171015. USDA's only palm oil record is for refined, deodorised oil. Dendê, the unrefined red palm oil used in Bahian cooking, is pressed and used without the refining step, which is where its colour and much of its carotenoid content come from. Density measured.
