Castor Seeds are the seeds of the castor oil plant, known for their high oil content and industrial importance. These seeds contain 40–55% oil, which is primarily composed of ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid not found in significant quantities in other oils.
Castor seeds are processed to produce castor oil, a valuable raw material used in a wide range of industries including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants, and biofuels.
