for the fans of red palm oil. what buriti palm is i dont know, maybe someone
could find out:
The richest known sources of provitamin A are the palm oils. Red palm oil,
a common cooking product in west Africa, is usually cited as having the
highest concentration of provitamin A activity [10]. However, recent studies
indicate that the oil of the buriti palm tree has a tenfold greater
concentration of vitamin A activity than red palm oil [11].
