About this food
Understanding this nutrition reference
Cooking oil is a liquid fat pressed or extracted from plant seeds, nuts, or fruits, such as soybean, canola, olive, or sunflower oil. It is used for frying, sautéing, baking, roasting, and in salad dressings.
Nutritionally, cooking oil is almost pure fat, which makes it very energy-dense. Per 100 ml it provides about 900 kcal and 100 g of fat, with no carbohydrates, protein, or fiber. A single tablespoon supplies a large share of its calories as fat.
Because oil is so concentrated, even small amounts add many calories to a dish. Measuring oil by the teaspoon or tablespoon is important for accurate tracking, and the serving sizes below can help estimate portions.
