Palm oil comes from the palms fruit and rapeseed i
Palm oil comes from the palms fruit and rapeseed is a grain, neither of which I think anyone would call a vegetable. Grains aren't listed in the Tesco vegetable groceries section nor are fruits. If their was a button to select 'no palm oil' on the Tesco website, I wonder if there would be anything left on the shelf?

Great for vegan buttercream
Great for baking but more importantly, for vegan buttercream! Vegan blocks/spreads do not have enough fat content to make a structurally sound American buttercream. Once I discovered a recipe online that said to use half vegan block (I use Stork block)/half Trex along with icing sugar to replace real butter, that was the end of it! Only thing is, I feel like you can taste that it's not real butter and I didn't notice this when I was using vegan block/spread alone. A teaspoon (or 2 depending on how much you're making) of vanilla essence solves this if you're making a plain buttercream. No vanilla essence needed if the buttercream is flavoured with chocolate, coffee, Biscoff etc

It lists palm oil as the first/ main ingredient so I will not buy it again.
Problem Palm Oil
I cannot give it a higher rating as I suspect the palm oil is sourced not ethically sourced. I hope Tesco can tell me otherwise....
