What it is
Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the soybean plant. It is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the United States. Soy lecithin is a byproduct of soybean oil production, often used as an emulsifier.
Why it's used
Soybean oil is used as a cooking oil and a base for many processed foods due to its neutral flavor and versatility. Soy lecithin acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water. It's commonly found in baked goods, dressings, and dairy products.
