NationMaster - Encyclopedia: List of vegetable oils

The following is intended to be a comprehensive list of oils that are extracted from plants. Although few plants are entirely without oil, the oil from a relatively small set of plants has become widely used and traded. Oils can be classified in several ways, for example: [1] This image has been released into the public domain by the copyright holder. ... [1] This image has been released into the public domain by the copyright holder. ... For the cartoon character, see Olive Oyl. ...

By source - most, but not all vegetable oils are extracted from the fruits or seeds of plants. One classification might group oils from similar plants, e.g. "Nut oils".
By use - oils from plants are used in cooking, for fuel, for cosmetic and medical purposes, and for other industrial purposes.

This list groups the oils by what seems to be the most common classes. Note that some plants are used to make both pressed oils (obtained by placing the respective part of the plant under pressure, to squeeze out the oil) and essential oils (obtained by dissolving parts of plants in water or another medium, and distilling out the oil). The oils produced by these methods often have quite different properties and uses, and are considered separately.
