What is vegetable oil?

Vegetable oil is oil derived from plants. These oils are extracted from the seeds, fruits, or other parts of plants through cold pressing, heat processing, or using solvents. Examples of vegetable oils include olive oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, soybean oil, and canola oil. Vegetable oils are commonly used in cooking and frying, and they also have some health benefits. However, some vegetable oils differ in terms of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, which can affect their impact on health.
