What are seed oils? Oils are lipids (fats) which are liquid at room temperature. Fats are lipids (fats???) which are solid at room temperature - that's right the language here is difficult as lipids are colloquially known as fats and thus fats are fats is a silly sentence that also somehow makes sense. For fats think butter, lard, etc. For oils think olive oil, sunflower oil etc. Fats (lipids that are solid at room temperature) contain a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids than oils (liquid at room temperature) which makes fats more stable, this being the reason that they are not liquid at room temperature. The reverse is therefore necessarily true about oils - they have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids thus are less stable and contain less single bonds (are less saturated with Hydrogen) and they are as such liquid at room temperature... Did anyone manage to read that paragraph without their head exploding? Maybe I could have written it better, oh well... Seed ...
