So, what is graisses vègétales?
"Graisses végétales" is the French term for vegetable fats, which are fats derived from plant-based sources such as palm, coconut, and soybean. These fats are commonly used in a variety of food products as a substitute for animal-derived fats. Vegetable fats have a neutral flavor and a high smoke point, making them ideal for frying, baking, and other high-heat cooking methods. They are also a source of essential fatty acids, which are important for maintaining good health. However, some types of vegetable fats have been associated with environmental and ethical concerns, particularly the production of palm oil, which can contribute to deforestation and habitat destruction.
