Mumtaz Vegetable Cooking Oil comes in a green 18 litre tin with Contains Vitamins A & D3 printed in yellow. The ingredients are palm olein, the antioxidants BHA and BHT (E320, E321) and vitamins A and D3, and a bilingual nutrition panel sits beside them. The tin is marked made in the United Arab Emirates. As general background, palm oil is an edible vegetable oil from the fruit pulp of the African oil palm, and palm olein is the liquid fraction of the oil. Refined palm oil has high oxidative stability when used for frying, which is one reason it is widely used in the commercial food industry. The tin suits fryers that are topped up through a busy service. Use it for deep-fried chicken, fries, samosas and falafel, for shallow frying and sautéing, or in rice dishes and stews. Strain the oil after service and top up with fresh oil to extend its use.
