Question

What is the custom regarding cottonseed oil on Passover?

Answer

Hello 

There are different customs regarding this. 

For example, under the supervision of Rabbi Landa, it is permitted.

In terms of form, it resembles kitniyot, as the edible part is the seed.

However, according to those who permit it, since the seeds are not fit for consumption on their own, but only as oil, it does not fall under the prohibition.
