So, what is vegetal fats?

Vegetal fats are plant-derived lipids that are commonly used as an ingredient in many food products. These fats can be extracted from a variety of sources including nuts, seeds, and fruits. They are often used in place of animal fats due to their lower levels of saturated fats and cholesterol. Vegetal fats can be found in a wide range of foods such as baked goods, spreads, and snack foods. They can also be used for cooking and frying due to their high smoke point. Some popular sources of vegetal fats include coconut oil, avocado oil, and palm oil. Overall, vegetal fats are a versatile and healthy ingredient that can enhance the flavor and texture of many dishes.
