All vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts do not contain cholesterol. Foods which are a source of cholesterol are derived from animal products (beef and dairy - from cattle, pork from pigs, flesh from fowl, fish and shellfish).
Vegetarian humans (as all other animals!) are able to synthesize their own cholesterol (in their own bodies).
