Some vegetables, such as eggplant, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, spinach, onions or carrots, readily absorb oil. When stir-fried in oil containing 15 grams of fat, they soak up12 grams of fat or more. This amounts to 20 % of the daily recommended amount of fat for a sedentary woman.
較易吸油的蔬菜，如茄子、甘藍、菠菜、洋蔥、花椰菜、紅蘿蔔等，若以含十五克脂肪的油脂烹調時，至少會吸收十二克的脂肪，足以提供一名不大活動婦女一日所需消耗量的廿％。
