Organic Palmfruit Shortening

You may have heard of all the destruction Asian palm oil is causing – a real issue when more than half of the items on grocery store shelves contain palm oil. But that’s not the full story. Done right, palm oil can be one of the most sustainable oils in the world, nurturing animals, people, communities and the environment. By partnering with Palm Done Right, GloryBee brings sustainably sourced palm oil products to its customers.
