About Seeds, chia seeds, dried
Partially defatted cottonseed flour, glandless variety, is a specialty protein ingredient processed from cottonseed after most of the oil has been pressed out. Protein content is remarkably high, approaching what you'd find in isolated soy or whey flour. Carbohydrates remain significant, and fat is minimal after defatting. Fiber is modest. It's used in food manufacturing as a protein extender rather than as a standalone pantry ingredient. The glandless designation means it was bred without gossypol, the naturally toxic pigment in conventional cottonseed.
