Palm kernel oil is a type of edible plant oil that is extracted from the kernel of the oil palm tree species known as Elaeis guineensis. This oil is distinct from two other edible oils derived from palm fruits, namely palm oil and coconut oil. Palm oil is obtained from the pulp of the oil palm fruit, while coconut oil is extracted from the kernel of coconuts. These three oils have different properties, flavors, and culinary uses, so it's important not to confuse them when using them in cooking or food preparation. Palm kernel oil is commonly used in various food products, cosmetics, and other industrial applications due to its unique characteristics and composition.
