About Flora Plant™: Flora® Plant is made of precious oils pressed from the seeds of sunflowers, rapeseed and sustainably grown palm fruits. Sustainable palm oil is an important ingredient due to its creamy consistency. Oil palms produce up to four times more oil than other plants while at the same time requiring less cropland. For the sustainable cultivation of oil palms, it must be ensured that it does not happen at the expense of the environment. Flora Plant™ is exclusively cultivated from brownfields and agricultural land. Additionally, important jobs are preserved in the producing countries, where palm oil is an important economic factor. Through sustainable extraction, we protect the environment and preserve the jobs of people whose livelihood depends on palm oil production.

Flora Plant™is available in stores across Austria in stick format, in salted and unsalted. The suggested retail price for Flora Plant™ 250G blocks is EU 1.89, however prices may vary from store to store.
