Q. Is the cooking oil made from crude oil?

Answer

No. Depending on the kind of oil, it can be derived from a wide variety of plants and animals. Natural oils like crude oil and vegetable oils have diverse characteristics and applications. Crude oil is oil that is derived from the ground, whereas vegetable oil is considered to be a food ingredient and is utilized in the kitchen. Subterranean reservoirs of hydrocarbons make up crude oil, which is located in the top layers of the earth's sedimentary crust. Crude oil is a fossil fuel since it originates from ancient sea organisms. There is a limited supply of all fossil fuels. Because of the long time required for their formation, these fuels are unique and irreplaceable.
