Lum Premium Palm Oil — Blended African Red Palm Oil for Achu & Cameroonian Cooking
Lum is a medium-density blend of Eposi and Engwari palm oils, giving you the perfect balance between light and heavy textures. 100% natural and unrefined, Lum is the most versatile palm oil in the MagsFood range — equally at home in everyday stews and traditional celebration dishes.
What Makes Lum Unique?
Lum brings together the color-richness of Eposi and the body of Engwari in one bottle. If you're unsure which palm oil to pick, Lum is your go-to: it works across a wider range of dishes than either oil alone, and its blended character produces an authentic, rounded flavor that is distinctly Central African.
Best Dishes to Cook with Lum Palm Oil
Lum is specifically recommended for these traditional recipes:
-
Achu soup — its medium body creates the iconic "yellow soup" texture without separating
-
Koki Beans — binds the filling and delivers deep color through the leaf parcel
-
Koki Corn — keeps the corn mixture moist and richly flavored
-
Okra soup — complements the natural viscosity of okra perfectly
-
Red oil stir-fries — the balanced density handles high heat better than single-origin oils
How Much Palm Oil Do I Need for a Meal?
For a pot of Achu soup (4–6 servings), typically 200–300ml of Lum is sufficient. For Koki, you'll use approximately 100–150ml per batch. The 1L bottle is ideal for weekly family cooking; the 3L or 5L sizes suit frequent cooks or community catering.
Naturally Rich in Vitamins
Like all MagsFood palm oils, Lum is cold-processed and unrefined, preserving its natural Vitamin A and Vitamin E content. It is vegan, gluten-free, and contains no preservatives or artificial additives.
