The packaging makes a few references to "vegetable fat" which worries me but perhaps it's just marketing alluding to old school vegetable shortening?

It's a french product so I translated some of the words on the packaging.

"100% végétal"

"100% vegetable fat based on totally hydrogenated coconut oil"

"exclusively from coconut oil" This one is hopeful (lol)


When I asked the company if it contained soy lecithin they replied

"We can confirm that Vegetaline is a 100% vegetable coconut oil composition."

Does anyone here trust it? Ray told me "If it’s still solid at 90 degress F, then it’s fully saturated."

I don't really know how to properly conduct that experiment in an easy way.

the packaging states 100g of saturated fat per 100g of fat!

Use butter?
I've never used it. I think it's used to fry french fries.
If you want to test it, wait for the next "canicule".

Yes, it's used for french fries. Other brands have the same brick format but with beef fat. The packaging doesn't inspire much confidence but I've had a few different refined coconut oils and Vegetaline seems genuine.

Yeah, I've used plenty of Hydrogenated Coconut Oil. It's pretty much as saturated as you can get. I think vegetaline might even be listed on Toxinless.com

Use of the term "Vegetable" in regards to oil or fat simply means it's a plant based fat, as opposed to animal (like tallow, lard, or butter).

Of all of these oils, there is not a single "vegetable" that is used for any of them. Coconut, olive, and avocado are technically fruits, soy and peanuts are beans, cottonseed, grapeseed, rapeseed (canola) and sunflower seeds are seeds, corn is a grain, and walnut and macadamia are nuts. I've never seen "Lettuce Oil" or Broccoli Oil." Funny how that term came into use, yet here we are.
