About Cottonseed oil
Cottonseed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from cotton seeds and refined for food use. Refined oil is typically pale yellow and liquid at room temperature, with a mild flavour that is not strongly distinctive. It is used for frying, baking, and in manufactured foods.
It is sold as liquid cooking oil and may also be included in blends or processed foods. The degree of refining and the way it is used affect its colour, flavour, and performance. This ingredient is the extracted oil, not whole cottonseed or cottonseed meal.
