Fun Facts: Plant Sterol Esters - Plant Stanol Esters

Have you ever heard of plant sterol esters and plant stanol esters?

Don't feel bad if you haven't.

There's so much to learn about fruits and vegetables when you start getting into the nuts and bolts of their overall makeup.

Plant sterols are present naturally in small quantities in many fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, vegetable oils, and other plant sources.

Plant stanols occur in even smaller quantities in many of the same sources. Both stanols and sterols are essential components of plant cell membranes and structurally resemble cholesterol.
