What are some food examples of lipids?
There are two general types of lipids: fats and oils. Fats come from animals and oils come from plants. A neat way to tell them apart is that fats are solid at room temperature while oils are liquid at room temperature. Fats are saturated, they have no double bonds and are as straight as tooth-picks, and they stack the same way, i. e. easily. Oils contain C=C double bonds that turn the straight lipid into those that look like 'a dogs leg'; bent pieces that stack poorly and need a lower temperature to solidify.
