No, avocado oil is not a seed oil

Avocado oil is not a seed oil, it is made from the pulp of the avocado rather than the pit. In addition, it contains far fewer polyunsaturated acids than most seed oils, is comprised mostly of monounsaturated fats, and thus stands up better to heat and cooking.

Avocado oil has a very high smoke point (as high as 520°F), so is a great option, especially for vegans looking to avoid seed oils. Avocado oil is high in antioxidants like vitamin E, and is widely considered a healthy cooking oil.
