Marula Oil

Fats and Oils

Marula oil is extracted from the kernels of the fruit of the marula tree, Sclerocarya birrea, native to southern Africa. It is traditionally used in food as a cooking oil and meat preservative, alongside wider use in cosmetics and leather treatment; in Namibia the marula fruit itself is also made into juice and jam.
