Tropical Sun Zomi Palm Oil 4.5l

Description

Tropical Sun Zomi Palm Oil is an authentic red palm oil — rich, deeply coloured, and unmistakably West African in character. Zomi refers to the raw, unrefined style of palm oil traditionally used in Ghanaian and wider West African cooking, prized for its intense orange-red colour and distinctive, full-bodied flavour that refined palm oil simply cannot replicate. It is the essential fat for banga soup, efo riro, ayamase, ofada rice sauce, beans porridge, and any dish where palm oil is not just a cooking medium but a defining flavour ingredient.

How to use

• Warm gently in the pot to liquefy before adding to your dish — palm oil solidifies below approximately 24°C.
• Use as the base fat for banga soup, efo riro, ayamase, ofada sauce, and beans porridge.
• Not suitable for high-temperature deep frying — use sunflower or groundnut oil for deep frying instead.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dark cupboard away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly sealed to prevent oxidation.
