The term "plant fats" refers to fatty acids and other compounds found in plants. These substances are derived from plant sources such as seeds, nuts, and oils, and can be used for a variety of purposes including cooking, baking, and nutritional supplements. Plant fats are generally considered healthier than animal fats because they contain unsaturated fatty acids that have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease when consumed in moderation. Examples of plant fats include olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and palm oil among others.
