About Seed oil

Seed oil is edible oil obtained from seeds, but the seed source is not given. This broad category can include oils with different compositions and properties, and the name does not establish a particular seed or whether the oil is refined, pressed, or blended.

It is generally liquid at room temperature, although texture and appearance vary with the oil and temperature. Seed oils are used in cooking, dressings, and food manufacture; flavour can range from neutral to distinctly seed-like depending on source and processing.
