Costa Rican Oil Palm Groves

Did you know that your dish washing soap (like PalmOlive) has palm oil in it?
And that the palm oil originally comes from trees like this?
They collect the “fruit” that grows in between the branches and then take them to be processed.
Doesn’t this “fruit” look strange?
The palm oil is transferred in large oil tanks, which someone from the US (like me) would assume is carrying gasoline, but more times than not it carrying palm oil!
