canola oil
Rapeseed cooking liquid
Canola oil is a cooking oil pressed from the seeds of the canola plant, a variety of rapeseed bred to have low levels of erucic acid.
It has a neutral flavor and high smoke point, making it popular for frying, baking, and salad dressings.
Canola oil is often marketed as heart-healthy due to its low saturated fat content and favorable ratio of omega fatty acids.
I use canola oil for most of my cooking.
