    AFAIK based on my own myopic experience, they also use seed oils for frying and alike, except from few very specific oil-based sauces and dishes (e.g. cooking garlic).

    Then there can easily be some random Italian Chef that will swear seed oil is the devil and it’s turning us gay.

      Sunflower oil is just fine for frying, as long as it’s refined — otherwise you’ll get a shitton of smoke, and burnt particles in the dish. But unrefined oil tastes better in salads.

      Idk even what the problem with garlic could be, except of course for the fact that chopped garlic fries very quickly.
