Palm Fruit oil is used for cooking foods, a nutritional supplement, salad dressing, a colour, taste enhancer for soups and vegetables

palm contains high levels of tocopherols and tocotrienols:

  • which are two forms of the strong antioxidant, vitamin E

Rudy-Red palm contains high levels of caroteinoids:

  • our bodies convert carotenes into vitamin A
  • Vitamin A help us maintain good vision and support our immune system

The advantage is that carotenes removes damaging oxygen, prevent certain forms of cancer and delay the aging process.

The disadvantage is that palm oil is high in saturated and low in polyunsaturated fat, which promotes heart diseases.

Palm Dates is used as fruits, food, date wine, and medicine.

Palm Dates contains high tannin content a detersive (having cleansing power) and astringent in intestinal troubles.

Dates was traditional used by the ancient Egyptians (Ancient puntians) and eastern Arabia

Dates as a liquid form, decoction, syrup, or paste dates can be administrated for sore throat, colds, bronchial catarrh, and help relieves fever

gum from trunk of the tree can be used for treating diarrhea and genitourinary ailments.

The advantage is that the protein in dates contains 23 types of amino acids and there is least 15 types of minerals

The disadvantage is that dates palms are susceptible to a disease called Bayoud disease.

  • caused by the fungus Fusarium Oxysporum
  • because of this disease, it has killed many of the popular older cultivars

overall, I would choose the palm fruit, dates, and figs and stay away from grapes.

    Saturated fats such as coconut oil are stable when heated to a medium high heat, and when they do break down, they do not turn into trams fats which are harmful, the poly and mono unsaturated fats are not stable when heated to med/high heat and with open bonds susceptible to changing into trams fats!!! FDA would have us beleive whatever the big pharma wants
