Oils are versatile liquid substances extracted from plants and animals, used across the world for everything from cooking and medicine to lighting and lubrication. Whether pressed from seeds or rendered from animal fat, oils are universally prized for their density, combustibility, and unique chemical properties. In backcountry homesteads, a flask of oil can be worth its weight in gold. In the modern age, most oil is produced by pressing seeds and fruit from plants such as sunflowers, rapeseed, soybeans and oil palms, or from animals such as the Tasman Whale.
