FOOD

This oil is known as the most stable natural oil, which is a good source of behenic acid and is used as a preservative in food industries. For instance, it has been used to preserve bread in Benue State, Nigeria. The bread lasted for a long time without going bad! It is an excellent salad oil. The Moringa oil has Odorless to mild nutty flavour. It is also used as vegetable cooking oil. Due to its high quantities of Oleic Acids (Mono-Unsaturated Fatty Acid) is good for sautéing and deep frying. The bright yellow oil with a pleasant taste has been compared in quality with olive oil. It can also be used in dressings. (Smoke point unknown). The Moringa oil is clear, sweet and odorless. I believe if made available, it can replace other oils for cooking all your favourite dishes!
