Cottonseed oil is one of the cheapest oils you can buy. Cotton plants are not particularly rich in oil, but then again, neither are peanuts or soybeans. Cotton only contains about 14% oil, while soybean and peanut contain around 40%. Cotton seed however has a big advantage over other seeds: it is much easier to extract the oil from cotton than with most other seeds.
Peanuts and soybeans among others have to go through a lengthy process of roasting and pressing before most of the oil is released. Cotton seed on the other hand literally falls off the plant when ripe and can be harvested directly as crude cottonseed oil – with nothing more than a press needed to extract most of what’s there.
Cottonseed for human consumption, on the other hand, is a different story. Cottonseed that is intended for human consumption contains only about 2% oil, which means that in order to get rid of the oil it has to be treated with extremely high temperatures and pressures. When done properly it will kill all bacteria and viruses in the seed… But also causes a number of carcinogenic chemicals to be created in the process.
