Is olive oil a lipid?

2 Answers

Olive oil is a pure fat, but according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPlate guidelines, a healthy fat, meaning it contains no protein or carbohydrates. Most of its fat is made up of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, with a small amount of polyunsaturated fat and saturated fat.

Olive oil is composed mainly of triacylglycerols (triglycerides or fats) and contains small quantities of free fatty acids (FFA), glycerol, phosphatides, pigments, flavor compounds, sterols, and microscopic bits of olive.
