Cocklebur oil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cocklebur oil is obtained by pressing the seeds of the cocklebur (Xanthium ssp.), a plant that is otherwise considered an agricultural pest that can harm or kill livestock. The oil is similar to poppyseed oil, light yellow in color, and similar to sunflower oil in taste and smell.[1][2]
