Papa's Choice Ofada (Local Brown Rice) Oil 1l

Description

How to use

• Warm gently to liquefy before use — it solidifies below approximately 24°C.
• Use generously in ayamase sauce — the dish traditionally carries a layer of palm oil on top.
• Not suitable for high-temperature deep frying — use sunflower or groundnut oil instead.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed between uses.
