Zomi or cooking palm oil is made by cooking ripened and already harvested palm nut fruits in a large pan for about 40 minutes until they become soft and tender.
The cooked fruits are scooped into a large mortar and gently crushed with a pestle, to avoid damaging the nut, but only to squeeze out the juice on the covering pulp. Once this is done, the juice obtained is filtered to remove the ash and then boiled again.
At this stage, one would see the fresh oil floating on the contents of the pot being scooped into yet another pot.
Fresh oil from palm fruit is traditionally used when eating roasted yam or plantain in Africa, especially on farms after a hard day’s work.
Cooking palm fruit oil remains the largest source of tocotrienols – a form of vitamin E known to man. This helps protect the body from diseases such as cancer, blood disorders and helps maintain good skin and fertility.
It is also very rich in the form of vitamin A which helps ensure good vision and prevent night blindness and many other types of eye problems.
