So, what is grasa vegetal?

Grasa vegetal is a plant-based fat commonly used as an ingredient in many food products. It is made by hydrogenating vegetable oils to solidify them at room temperature, making it a popular substitute for animal-derived fats like lard and butter. Grasa vegetal has a neutral flavor and can be used in baking, frying, and as a spread. It is often used in processed foods like snacks, pastries, and margarine. Grasa vegetal is considered a healthier option than animal fats because it contains no cholesterol and is low in saturated fat.
