Vegetable fat is edible plant-derived fat used in cooking and food manufacture, with firmness, flavour and processing varying by source.
About Vegetable fat
Vegetable fat is edible fat derived from plant sources. The category can encompass fats from different plants and can include products that are solid, semi-solid, or softened at ordinary use conditions; no particular source or refining process is identified.
It is used in cooking and food manufacture for richness, texture, and other functional properties. Its colour, firmness, and flavour depend on the source and processing, and the name alone does not establish whether it is a single fat or a formulated product.
