Two oils, different characteristics, different purposes. 🌴🔥

Crude palm oil brings its distinctive colour and aroma, while refined palm oil offers a milder flavour suited to frying and food manufacturing.

When it comes to cooking, it’s not about which oil is better—it’s about understanding the differences, choosing the right oil for the job, and knowing how heat affects oil quality.

Mala is in South Africa - and this time, she's following the smell of freshly baked pastries.

Inside a small pastry business, she meets a woman who turned her passion for baking into a growing production venture.

But Mala has a question: how do you get the same texture and quality across batch after batch?

The answer leads somewhere she didn't expect: palm-based shortening.

Palm-derived fats can be formulated for specific functions in baking, including helping provide the texture and structure needed in pastry products.

So yes — palm oil can take us far beyond the frying pan.

Sometimes, the next palm oil story is hiding in a pastry.

How do you check if your palm oil is good quality? 🌴🧐

From how it behaves when heated to changes in appearance and impurities, there are simple signs that can make you take a closer look at the oil you’re using.

But remember, household checks are only indicators- not a substitute for proper quality testing. Factors such as storage, handling and heating can also affect how oil looks and behaves.

Check this out and get familiar with what to look out for. 👀

Why invest in Malaysian palm oil? 🌴📈

The global palm oil market is shifting: and understanding where supply is heading matters for businesses looking at their next opportunity.

With Malaysia’s palm oil exports projected to reach up to 16 million tonnes in 2027, changing supply dynamics are creating new questions around sourcing, trade, processing and investment.

For businesses, the opportunity goes beyond the plantation. It extends across refining, logistics, manufacturing, international trade and markets.

These are the conversations shaping the future of the industry—and they’re taking place at MPOF KL 2026.

Small choices add up. 🌱

Plan your portions. Store food properly. Use what you buy. And when cooking oil has reached the end of its useful life, dispose of it responsibly.

Sustainability isn’t only about big changes, it’s about turning awareness into everyday action, one kitchen choice at a time. 🌴

Gari, but make it Mala’s way. 🌴🥣

Today, Mala is taking on a West African favourite—gari—and showing how a little palm oil can bring colour, richness and flavour to this simple, versatile staple.

From the pantry to the plate, palm oil has a place in everyday cooking across Africa.

Would you add palm oil to your gari? 👀

How many times can you reuse cooking oil? 🍳👀

There isn’t one magic number. The quality of reused oil depends on factors such as the cooking temperature, what you’re frying, how long the oil is heated, and how well it is stored between uses.

Watch the video to learn the signs that your cooking oil may have reached the end of its useful life—from changes in colour and smell to excessive smoking or foaming.

When in doubt, check the oil—not just the number of times you’ve used it. 🌴

What does certification actually mean? 🌴✅

Certification is more than a logo on a product. It means that defined standards and requirements have been established—and that producers or businesses are assessed against those requirements.

In palm oil, certification can cover areas such as responsible production, traceability, environmental management, worker welfare and other social and operational practices.

It gives the industry a framework for demonstrating how palm oil is produced and provides greater transparency from the plantation through the supply chain.

Sustainability should be something you can verify—not just something you claim.

From fruit bunches to the oil in the bottle. 🌴⚙️

What happens after fresh oil palm fruits arrive at the mill?

The journey involves careful sorting, sterilisation, threshing and pressing before the oil is extracted. From there, further processing can transform palm oil into a range of ingredients and derivatives used across food, personal care and other industries.

Every stage matters—from handling the fruit to processing the oil—turning a harvested crop into products used far beyond the kitchen.

Watch the journey from palm fruit to finished palm oil. 🌱
