What are Oil based foods?

Oil-based foods are those that incorporate oils as a primary ingredient or are prepared using oil as a cooking medium. Common examples include fried foods, salad dressings, marinades, and various sauces, where oils enhance flavor and texture. Oils can be derived from different sources, such as olive, canola, coconut, and sesame, each contributing unique characteristics to the dishes. These foods can be part of a balanced diet, but moderation is key due to their high calorie content.
