Is Crab Cakes made with seed oils?
Depends
Often, because of the mayo binder
Crab cakes are usually bound with mayonnaise and breadcrumbs, then pan-fried, so the mayo brings soybean or canola oil along with it. Our tracker estimates about 8g of PUFA for two cakes.
How to keep it seed-oil-free
Ask if the kitchen uses an avocado-oil mayo, or make crab cakes at home with your own clean mayo.
