What Is Palm Cream?

Palm cream — also known as palm nut cream or palm fruit cream — is a thick, naturally orange-red paste extracted from the flesh of the oil palm fruit. Unlike refined palm oil, palm cream retains the full fruit pulp, giving it a richer texture, deeper flavour, and higher nutritional density. It is the base ingredient for iconic West African dishes such as palm nut soup (abenkwan), banga soup, and egusi stew. Ghana Fresh Palm Cream 400g is a ready-to-use format that saves preparation time without compromising on authenticity.

Country of Origin

Ghana Fresh Palm Cream 400g is produced in Ghana, West Africa — one of the world's leading producers of oil palm fruit. The palm fruit is harvested from cultivated plantations and processed under controlled conditions to ensure consistent quality and food safety standards.
