The worldwide production of the major oilseeds is reviewed, along with indications of their importance as protein sources either directly in human foods or indirectly for animal feeds. In general, direct food use is limited but could be expanded to help meet world protein needs. Problems to be solved relative to increased food use include protein source, processing, distribution and consumption, including cost and acceptance. The successes achieved by soybeans in the food field demonstrate some of the potentials for the oilseeds.
