Fats We all know about the common fats that different foods contain. Meat contains animal fat. Most breads and pastries contain vegetable oils, shortening or lard. Deep fried foods are cooked in heated oils.
Fats are greasy and slick.
Saturated fats are normally solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. However, most fats contain a mixture. For example, at the left you see the label from a bottle of olive oil. It contains both saturated and unsaturated fats, but the saturated fats are dissolved in the unsaturated fats. To separate them you can put olive oil in the refrigerator.
