Fatty acids

saturated 15% · monounsaturated 81% · polyunsaturated 3%

linoleic acid (omega 6) 2 g (per 100 g)

alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3) 0.2 g (per 100 g)

Smoke point

unrefined 190–210 °C

Storage

Cool and dark, up to two years — its low share of polyunsaturates makes it unusually stable.

Notable

Carries palmitoleic acid, which hardly any plant oil holds and which also occurs in human skin sebum. Hence its standing in cosmetics; in the kitchen buttery and heat-resistant.
