African King Palm cream 780g

African King Palm Cream 780 g is a convenient cream of palm fruit made for preparing traditional West African soups, stews, and sauces. It is made from the pulp of ripe palm fruits and provides the rich flavor, color, thickness, and aroma associated with traditional palm-nut-based dishes.

Unlike ordinary red palm oil, palm cream contains the processed pulp of the palm fruit, making it particularly useful as a soup base. It eliminates the time-consuming process of boiling, pounding, and extracting palm nuts at home, allowing you to prepare traditional meals more conveniently.
