Jojoba is a shrub native to the American southwest. "The mature seed is a hard oval that is dark brown and contains an oil (liquid wax)…. Jojoba foliage provides year-round food for many animals, including deer, javelina, bighorn sheep, and livestock. Its nuts are eaten by squirrels, rabbits, other rodents, and larger birds.

The O'odham people of the Sonoran Desert treated burns with an antioxidant salve made from a paste of the jojoba nut.^[2] Native Americans also used the salve to soften and preserve animal hides. Pregnant women ate jojoba seeds, believing they assisted during childbirth. Derivative jojoba esters [are]more similar to whale oil than to traditional vegetable oils. It has been discussed as a possible biodieselfuel.^[7][8][9] [that ought to turn on the greasers in our organization, though unfortunately it apparently] cannot be cultivated on a scale to compete with traditional fossil fuels. So its use is relegated to personal care products.^[10]" [But] it’s utility has led to [some] commercial jojoba plantings.
