seed oil
Pressed botanical fat
Seed oil is oil extracted from plant seeds—sunflower, canola, soybean, corn, and similar crops.
These oils are common in cooking and processed foods.
In recent years, seed oils have become a target of health-conscious online communities who blame them for inflammation and chronic disease, making seed oil a shibboleth in certain wellness circles: I don't eat anything with seed oils.
