Castor Seed By Hitech Plast Ltd.

We are the largest manufacturer and supplier of castor seed in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, India. the Castor seed is the source of castor oil, which has a wide variety of uses. The seeds contain between 40% and 60% oil that is rich in triglycerides, mainly ricinolein. The seed also contains ricin, a water-soluble toxin, which is also present in lower concentrations throughout the plant. Castor oil was traditionally used on the skin to prevent dryness. This is now used as a base for many cosmetics. The attractive castor seeds are used in jewelry, mainly necklaces and bracelets. The castor oil plant produces abundant amounts of very light pollen, which easily become airborne and can be inhaled into the lungs, triggering allergic reactions. The sap of the plant causes skin rashes. Individuals who are allergic to the plant can also develop rashes from merely touching the leaves, flowers, or seeds. These individuals can also have cross-allergic reactions to latex sap from the related Hevea brasiliensis plant.
