Oil seeds are crops grown primarily for the extraction of oils, which are used in cooking, food processing, and industrial applications. Common oil seeds include soybeans, sunflower seeds, canola (rapeseed), peanuts, and sesame seeds. These crops thrive in a variety of climates and soil types, making them widely cultivated around the world. The extracted oils are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, making them valuable for both nutritional and economic purposes. Oil seeds also produce by-products like meal and cake, which serve as high-protein animal feed. The cultivation of oil seeds is crucial for global agriculture, providing essential raw materials for food, biofuel, and various industrial processes.
