Oilseeds are seeds that are grown specifically for their oil content. Common examples include soybeans, sunflower seeds, and canola seeds. These seeds are processed to extract oil, which is used in cooking, food production, and various industrial applications. In addition to their oil, oilseeds are also valuable for their protein content, making them important in animal feed and plant-based food products. The cultivation of oilseeds plays a significant role in agriculture and the global economy, as they are a major source of edible oils and other by-products.
