Originated from West Africa 5000 years ago, the palm oil became an essential agricultural crop since the 14th century due to its robust year-round production. The oil palm has the highest yield per acre of any oil seed crop.<\/p>\n
The water-soluble nutrients of the fruit also have a variety of applications from cognitive health and sports nutrition to healthy aging.<\/p>\n
