Corn oil is oil produced from corn. (some kinds of corn have more oil than the type normally sold to consumers)

Corn oil has a medium-high smoke point, which makes it an OK choice for most high-temperature frying. Corn oil is composed of poly-unsaturated fat, which is considered reasonably good for human health. Corn oil tends to be inexpensive in some locations, likely due to the heavy taxes and subsidies to which corn is often subject to.
