A vegetable oil is a triglyceride extracted from a plant.
Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia.
The term "vegetable oil" can be narrowly defined as referring
only to substances that are liquid at room temperature,
or broadly defined without regard to a substance's
state of matter at a given temperature.
For this reason, vegetable oils that are solid at room temperature
are sometimes called vegetable fats. Vegetable oils are composed of triglycerides,
as contrasted with waxes which lack glycerin in their structure.
Although many plant parts may yield oil, in commercial practice,
oil is extracted primarily from seeds.
