Palm Oil

If you ever wondered where palm oil comes from here is the quick and dirty.

It starts as a cluster of red almond size beans between the stock and leaf of an Oil Palm Tree that is hacked off with a machete by a guy named Sang.

 Then its dried for a couple days which allows it to be shucked from the cluster. By a guy named Sang..



Once cleaned you have a bucket of little red beans. 

 The beans are dried then boiled, then dried again, then pounded, then boiled again and strained to get the precious oil separated from the pulp. Class dismissed.
