canola seed

Oil crop seed

Canola seed is the seed of the canola plant, a variety of rapeseed bred to have low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates.

The seeds are pressed to produce canola oil, widely used in cooking for its neutral flavor and relatively healthy fat profile.

The remaining meal serves as livestock feed.
