Castor seeds are the oval-shaped seeds from the castor oil plant, known for their high oil content. The oil extracted from these seeds, castor oil, is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications due to its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-healing properties. Castor seeds also have agricultural uses, such as being used in the production of biodiesel. While the seeds themselves are toxic if consumed raw, castor oil is safe and beneficial when processed correctly. Castor seeds are valued for both their versatility and their various health and industrial benefits.
