So, what is matières-grasses végétales?

"Matières-grasses végétales" is a French term that translates to "vegetable fats" in English. This term refers to fats that are derived from plant sources, such as coconut, palm, and sunflower oil. These fats are often used in cooking and baking as a substitute for animal fats, such as butter and lard. They are also commonly used in the production of processed foods, such as snack foods and baked goods. Vegetable fats are known for their high smoke point and stability, making them a popular choice for frying and deep-frying. Additionally, they are often preferred by those following a plant-based diet or those with dietary restrictions.
