The video tutorial explains the concept of seeding data into a database using Entity Framework. It covers the process of overriding methods in the DB context to insert default data, focusing on seeding countries and hotels. The tutorial also demonstrates how to perform migrations and verify data insertion, ensuring that the database is correctly populated with initial data for testing and development purposes.

What is the primary purpose of database seeding?
