Answers
Answer:
1)The major use of cooking oil is in frying, where it functions as a heat transfer medium and contributes flavour and texture to foods. ... Frying food at a temperature which is too low results in increased fat uptake.
2)There is a wide variety of cooking oils from plant sources such as olive oil, palm oil, soybean oil, canola oil (rapeseed oil), corn oil, peanut oil and other vegetable oils, as well as animal-based oils like butter and lard.
3)Edible plant stems are one part of plants that are eaten by humans. ... Humans most commonly eat the seeds (e.g. maize, wheat), fruit (e.g. tomato, avocado, banana), flowers (e.g. broccoli), leaves (e.g. lettuce, spinach, and cabbage), roots (e.g. carrots, beets), and stems (e.g. asparagus, ginger) of many plants
