1 A fallen coast redwood will often send up new shoots, growing new trees off of its trunk. This is called a candelabra tree.  Redwoods and giant sequoias were used to build many of the original buildings in San Francisco, Oakland, and Sacramento in the latter 1800s.
gossypol. n. 1. (Biochemistry) a toxic crystalline pigment that is a constituent of cottonseed oil. [C19: from Modern Latin gossypium cotton plant + -ol 1 ].
There are different extraction techniques which have considerable effect on the amount of free gossypol that is in the meal. The older screw-press method used heat which increased the protein binding, thus converting more free gossypol (toxic form) to the bound form (non-toxic).
