Oil cake, often called oilseed cake or meal, is the byproduct of extracting oil from seeds like sesame, sunflower, or mustard. Traditionally used in cuisines across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, this cake is high in protein, fiber, and essential minerals, making it a nutrient-dense ingredient for animal feed or occasional human consumption in processed forms. Rich in plant-based protein, it contributes to muscle repair and overall dietary protein intake. Additionally, it offers beneficial compounds such as antioxidants, which are found in the residual oil. However, oil cake also carries a high calorie count due to residual oils and may contain anti-nutritional factors like glucosinolates, depending on the seed type. While highly valued in agricultural and industrial uses, it must be processed carefully for safe human consumption. Its use varies greatly depending on the oilseed source and regional dietary practices.
