Cotton seeds are the seeds of the cotton plant, primarily used for the production of cotton fiber and oil. They are small, oval-shaped seeds that are typically brown or black in color. Cotton seeds are rich in protein and oil, making them valuable not only for textile production but also for various food and industrial applications. The oil extracted from cotton seeds is commonly used in cooking and food processing, while the leftover meal serves as a high-protein animal feed.
