Oil: Nutrition Facts and Calories

This category covers a range of edible oils used in cooking and as ingredients. Examples include vegetable oils derived from seeds, fruits, or nuts, such as olive oil, sunflower oil, and rapeseed oil, as well as blended oils. The ingredient list for these products typically shows a single ingredient, the type of oil. For oils, the primary nutritional information relates to fat content, which is present in high amounts. Labels will detail the types of fat, such as saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats. Carbohydrate and sugar content is generally negligible, and salt is not typically added. Oils do not contain fibre. When choosing oils, consumers may consider the type of fat profile and the intended use, such as for high-heat cooking or salad dressings. Information on origin or processing, like 'extra virgin' for olive oil, may also be present. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
