palm-oil
Deforestation-linked cooking fat
Palm oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of oil palm trees, used extensively in food products, cosmetics, and biofuels.
Its cultivation has driven massive deforestation in tropical regions, making it a frequent target of environmental concern: Check labels for palm oil if you're trying to avoid it.
