Description
Jatropha seeds are the seeds of the Jatropha curcas plant, a small shrub native to Central America and tropical regions. These seeds are known for their high oil content and have been utilized for various purposes. Jatropha seeds are often pressed to extract their oil, which can be used as a biofuel or for making biodiesel. The seeds themselves are typically dark brown or black and have a hard outer shell. While the oil is the primary focus, the seeds also have potential for other applications. In some regions, they are used as a traditional medicine, and there is ongoing research into their potential for producing industrial products such as soap, lubricants, and insecticides. However, it is important to note that jatropha seeds contain toxic compounds, and proper precautions must be taken when handling and processing them.
