About Seeds, cottonseed kernels, roasted (glandless)
Cottonseed is the seed of the cotton plant (genus Gossypium), a byproduct of the cotton industry that has long been valued chiefly for its oil. The seeds are pressed to make cottonseed oil, a neutral-flavored vegetable oil with a high smoke point that is widely used for frying, baking, salad dressings, margarine, and packaged snacks like potato chips. The oil is free of cholesterol and contains a mix of unsaturated fats and vitamin E.
Raw whole cottonseed contains a natural compound called gossypol that is toxic to people, so the seed must be carefully processed and refined before its oil is fit for the kitchen, while the protein-rich meal left over is used mainly as livestock feed. Cottonseed oil is a kitchen and food-industry staple rather than a snack eaten on its own. Store cottonseed oil in a cool, dark cupboard, tightly sealed, to keep it from going rancid.
