Many people actually believe that it is zero, but you might be surprised to hear that there is in fact a little (very little) bit of cholesterol in plants. Plants have mg/Kg whereas animal products have g/Kg (a massive difference).
Here are a few:

Soybean oil

Corn oil

Peanut oil

These are tiny amounts (so tiny that measuring them has been a fairly recent development). Also note these are the amounts in the purified oil, NOT the whole plants.
For those wanting a little more I suggest they read this pdf to get a clearer picture of where we are at right now with the whole.
I thought you'd find it interesting, especially if you thought plants contained zero cholesterol.
Special thanks has to go to Jack Norris RD for pointing out the pdf used above.

I agree with your experiment of Cholesterol. You have given an information based post to us. Thank You. Plants have low amount of Cholesterol than the animals. Human needs a specific amount of Cholesterol for a healthy life. In that sense, I would like to say that everyone needs to have Cholesterol but a limited or a controlled amount.
i dont care about Cholesterol only if i eat meat
