Medella has introduced Red Palm & Coconut Cooking Oil, Malaysia’s first 50/50 blend of natural red palm oil and coconut oil, offering a healthier alternative for everyday cooking. Developed using a chemical-free process that preserves its nutritional value, the oil delivers a rich source of antioxidants and healthy fats, supporting the needs of increasingly health-conscious consumers.
Each 15g serving contains 4.5g of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) for quick energy and metabolism support, 3.75mg of Vitamin E to promote immune and skin health, and 1.13mg of Provitamin A to maintain good vision. With non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and high cholesterol on the rise, Medella’s launch provides a timely solution for Malaysians looking to make better choices in the kitchen.
