Checklist - Vegetable oils

A vegetable oil is most of the time obtained by first cold pressing of a nut, a fruit or an oilseed. This oil is therefore comparable to a lipid "juice".

There are, however, many plants which cannot produce oil by pressing, and yet whose beneficial action for health is expressed in oils. We then speak of oily macerate or maceration oil.
