Palm oil is in half of the food we eat. However, making it damages the environment. Researchers think they have found an alternative to palm oil. It is called PALM-ALT. This is a plant-based oil that is better for the environment. It is also healthier. It has much less fat and 30% fewer calories than palm oil.
PALM-ALT could change how we make things. It is made from flowers and seeds, so we don't have to cut down trees. A researcher tested PALM-ALT. She said people could not tell the difference between PALM-ALT and traditional palm oil. She is hoping businesses will start using it instead of regular palm oil.
