If your vegetable oil is of any reputable quality, it should say what kind it is!





But ';vegetable'; in this context usually means vegetable matter -- not leafy greens, more likely grains and beans. It just differentiates the stuff from lard or butterfat.





Soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil, safflower or sunflower seed oil and canola oil are all likely contenders. If the bottle only says ';vegetable oil';, it's likely they used one or more of these; whatever the cheapest one was that they could get.
