(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Vegetable is a nutritional and culinary term denoting any part of a plant that is commonly consumed by humans as food, but is not regarded as a culinary fruit, nut, herb, spice, or grain. In common usage, vegetables include the leaves (e.g. lettuce), stems (asparagus), and roots (carrot) of various plants. But the term can also encompass non-sweet fruits such as seed-pods (beans), cucumbers, squashes, pumpkins, tomatoes, avocadoes, green peppers, etc.; even some seeds (peas and beans) that are easily softened by soaking.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A vegetable oil or vegoil is an oil extracted from oilseeds or another plant source. Some vegetable oils, such as rapeseed, cottonseed or castor oil, are not fit for human consumption without further processing.
Like all fats, vegetable oils are esters of glycerin and a varying blend of fatty acids, and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
Soybeans 26.0 million metric tons (MMT) Palm 23.3 MMT Rapeseed 13.1 MMT Sunflowerseed 8.6 MMT Peanut 4.2 MMT Cottonseed 3.6 MMT Palm Kernel 2.7 MMT Olive 2.5 MMT Note that these figures include industrial and animal feed use. The vegetable oil most widely used in human nutrition is sunflower seed oil. Palm oil, which is solid at room temperature, is used mainly to produce soaps and cosmetics. The majority of European rapeseed oil production is used to produce biodiesel.
Extraction
See also: biodiesel, decorticator, expeller, extruder, fat, lipid, mill.
- One can use the "modern" way of processing oil by chemical extraction, using solvent extracts, which produces higher yields and is quicker and less expensive.
- Another way is the "physical extraction", that does not use solvent extracts. It is made the "old" way by expeller-pressed mechanical extraction.

The modern metallic burial casket is a step in the same direction, and many a dead man who ought now to be ornamenting his neighbor's lawn as a tree, or enriching his table as a bunch of radishes, is doomed to a long inutility.
