Buy dendê online

Dendê, or palm oil, is primarily used in Brazilian and West African dishes to give food a distinct color and rich, earthy flavor.

Dendê has a complex, earthy, nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness and a rich aroma.

Common recipes include moqueca (Brazilian seafood stew), vatapá, caruru, and West African soups.

Dendê can last up to 6 months after opening if stored in a cool, dark place, or longer if refrigerated.

Dendê’s unique flavor is difficult to replicate, but in a pinch you can use coconut oil or a mix of olive and peanut oils, though the dish will taste different.

Dendê oil comes from the fruit of the palm tree and is not a nut oil, but always check with your doctor if you have severe allergies.

Place the container in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes until it melts to a liquid consistency.
