What it is
Cottonseed rice is a type of rice that has been processed using cottonseed oil. Cottonseed oil is extracted from the seeds of cotton plants. The oil is then used in the cooking or processing of the rice.
Why it's used
Cottonseed oil is often used in food processing due to its neutral flavor and stability. It can be used to add richness or a slightly different texture to rice products. It is commonly found in snack foods like flavored rice mixes, popcorn, and some baked goods.
Health notes
Cottonseed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have concerns about gossypol, a natural toxin found in the cotton plant, although refined cottonseed oil for food use has very low levels of gossypol. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated cottonseed oil and its components.
Allergen info
Cottonseed is not one of the nine FDA major food allergens. It is not derived from any of the major allergens. Gluten is not present.
