So, what is vegetable fats?

Vegetable fats are a type of fat derived from plants, including palm, coconut, sunflower, and soybean. They are commonly used in food processing and manufacturing as a substitute for animal-based fats, such as butter or lard. Vegetable fats are often considered a healthier alternative to animal fats, as they are generally lower in saturated fat and cholesterol. They also provide a rich source of essential fatty acids, which are important for maintaining good health. These fats can be found in a wide variety of foods, from baked goods to snack foods and spreads.
