Palm oil formed the basis of soap products, such as Lever Brothers' (now Unilever) "Sunlight", and B. J. Johnson Company's (now Colgate-Palmolive) "Palmolive," [8] and by around 1870, palm oil constituted the primary export of some West African countries. [9] In 1780, Carl Wilhelm Scheele demonstrated that fats were derived from glycerol.
Hearts of palm are rich in fiber, potassium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, copper, vitamins B2, B6, and C. [5] They are ranked as a "good" source of protein, riboflavin, and potassium, and as a "very good source" of dietary fiber, vitamin C, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and especially, manganese, [6] along with being a good ratio between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
