rapeseed
Canola oil source
Rapeseed is a plant cultivated for its oil-rich seeds.
The oil, also called canola oil, is used for cooking and industrial purposes.
The plant produces bright yellow flowers that blanket fields in spring: Miles of rapeseed stretched across the countryside.
The seed cake remaining after oil extraction serves as livestock feed.
