vegetable oils
Cooking liquid lipids
Vegetable oils are fats extracted from plants—typically from seeds, nuts, or fruits.
Common sources include soybeans, olives, sunflowers, corn, and coconuts.
These oils serve for cooking, frying, and salad dressings, but also appear in cosmetics, soaps, and industrial applications.
