Why does my red palm oil seem to have such a low smoke point?
I've found a couple of sources differentiating red palm from palm kernel oil &amp; quoting smoke points from 150℃/300℉ to 235℃/450℉ depending on how refined it is.
One can only imagine if you got a 'straight from the farm' type then it will be unrefined.
I'd use it only for low-temperature cooking, don't let it smoke too much.
