What does this "seed oil" means? Sunflower and olive oil used for millenia in different cuisines, and nobody ever accounted it as harmful.

Here we use sunflower oil, olive oil, butter and animal fat (pork or mutton one, mostly) for cooking.

Butter is preferrable for frying (on frying pan - fried eggs, pancakes, etc). Pork fat often used for fried eggs or potato. Sunflower oil used for frying and salads. Olive oil used only as salad dressing.

Some dishes, mostly of central asia origin, like pilaf or cheburek, made in deep frying pan filled with the animal fat melted from fat parts of pork or mutton (suet?).

Also, there is a cheaper butter replacement - margarine (butter diluted with sunflower oil suspension), but it is not very popular and used only in baking mostly as a separation grease, not as real ingridient. Most prefer pure butter or sunflower oil for baking even as grease for baking mold.

All that oils are used for millenia in cuisines popular in Russia, and there is no any signs that they are somehow harmful.

We have many different oils made from seeds in groceries, from flax oil to buckweet one, but it is mostly spice for dishes, not cooking oils/fats.

Are there some other oils popular in US/EU now? I don't remember any significant differences in assortment of EU groceries - butter, sunflower and olive oil, margarine. Don't remember pork fat as separate product, but fatty bacon was in quantities on the shelves and was pretty decent for fried eggs in the morning.

Also, use of oils/fats for frying is dropped, because of all that modern frying pan coatings, from PTFE to ceramic, so you don't need as much oil/fat as for cast iron frying pan if you just want to fry potatoes or vegetables.

Where this modern narrative about "seed oils" come from?

Olive oil isnt really a seed oil though.

The Definition of Seed Oil

To fully understand whether olive oil falls under the category of seed oil, it’s important to define what seed oil is. Seed oils, as the name suggests, are oils that are extracted from the seeds of plants. These can include a wide range of oils, such as sunflower oil, sesame oil, and flaxseed oil. The extraction process involves pressing or grinding the seeds to extract the oil, which is then used for cooking, skincare, and other purposes. With this definition in mind, we can now examine whether olive oil fits the criteria of a seed oil.

Is Olive Oil a Seed Oil?

The answer to this question is not as straightforward as it may seem. While olive oil is derived from the olive fruit, it is not extracted from the seeds of the fruit, but rather from the flesh. This key distinction sets olive oil apart from traditional seed oils, leading many experts to argue that it should be categorized differently. However, it’s important to note that some variations of olive oil, such as pomace olive oil, are indeed extracted from the seeds and therefore fall under the classification of seed oil. So, while the debate rages on, it can be concluded that olive oil, in its traditional form, may not fit the strict definition of a seed oil.

This is the real reason olive oil is getting so fucking mad expensive (if i lived in ohio still, id try to plant some olive trees lmao), is because its one of the few healthy things left you can buy.
