Cottonseed Oil
Cottonseed Oil is a refined vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of cotton plants and is commonly used for frying, baking and in processed foods because of its neutral flavor and high smoke point. It is very high in fat; in fact it contains 25.9g of saturated fat per 100g, so it is typically used sparingly in cooking. While cottonseed oil supplies fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamin E and vitamin K and has a fair amount of monounsaturated fat, its relatively high saturated fat content and common use in processed products make it a less heart-friendly choice than oils higher in unsaturated fats.
