About Oil, cottonseed, salad or cooking
Extracted from the seeds of the cotton plant, this oil is a highly refined, neutral-tasting cooking fat with a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying, sautéing, and deep-frying. Its light texture and mild flavor allow it to blend seamlessly into salad dressings, marinades, and baked goods without altering the taste of the dish. Because it remains stable at high temperatures, it's a popular choice in commercial kitchens and for home frying.
Nutritionally, it is 100% fat, providing 884 calories per 100 grams, with no protein, carbohydrates, or fiber. It contains a mix of unsaturated and saturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential but should be balanced with omega-3s in the diet. While it can be part of a varied cooking oil rotation, those mindful of their fat intake or seeking whole-food sources of nutrients may want to use it sparingly and pair it with oils richer in beneficial compounds like olive or avocado oil.
