For what production are oilseed plants specifically grown?
Answer
Oilseeds are plants cultivated specifically for their high-fat seeds or fruits, from which oil is extracted for food, energy or industrial use by a process called crushing, in which the seeds are crushed and pressed, leaving a co-product called oilseed cake, which is generally recycled in animal feed.
