cottonseeds
Oil-producing plant embryos
Cottonseeds are the seeds of the cotton plant, left behind after cotton fibers are removed.
They're processed for cottonseed oil, used in cooking and food production, while the remaining meal becomes livestock feed.
Cottonseed oil was once the dominant vegetable oil in American kitchens.
