{"title":"Corn \u0026 Palm Oil","description":"\u003cp\u003eCorn oil is pressed from the germ of maize kernels and refined into a pale, mild oil. It has a high smoke point and a clean taste, so it suits deep frying, shallow frying and baking cakes and muffins where you want moisture without flavour. It sits with the everyday cooking fats in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/oils-and-ghee\"\u003eoils and ghee\u003c\/a\u003e department.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnrefined palm oil is something else entirely. Pressed from the fruit of the oil palm, it is a deep orange red with an earthy, slightly savoury flavour, and it is essential in West African cooking: Nigerian banga soup, egusi and efo riro, Ghanaian palaver sauce and red red. It sets semi solid at cool room temperature, which is normal.
