The term "seed oil" refers to oils that are extracted from seeds. These oils can be obtained through various methods such as cold pressing, solvent extraction or mechanical extraction. Some common examples of seed oils include sunflower oil, safflower oil, soybean oil and corn oil among others. Seed oils have a wide range of uses including cooking, cosmetics, biofuels and industrial applications. They are also rich in essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), which play important roles in human health.
