Asked by Linell

what is the difference between a saturated and unsaturated fat?

Thanks!
Answered by mysterychicken
Saturated fats are generally hard at room temperature. So things like butter are saturated fat. Unsaturated fats are generally liquid at room temperature. So olive oil and nut and seed oils will be liquid at room temperature.
Hope this helped!

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "<I>'hydrogenated fats' 'potato chips'</I>" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
