what does "seeded" mean?
Hello.
I'm confused at the meaning of "seeded". I looked it up in my dictionary, saying that seed sth means remove seeds from it.
However, when I googled, I found pages like https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/seeded
saying seeded means either having seeds or not.
Is there any rule about when I should use seeded to mean having seeds (or not having seeds)?
Thanks for reading.

Here are some quotes:
1. Oil-cured olives can be seeded simply by squeezing the olive to pop out the pit. (This is an example of "removal of the seed'"
2. I always buy seedless grapes and canned pitted olives. (No seeds or pits). If you mean "grapes with seeds", there is no adjective. We just say "grapes." (with seeds).
3. Once the snow melts, the area will be
