rapeseed oil

Yellow flower extract

Rapeseed oil is cooking oil pressed from the seeds of the rape plant, a yellow-flowering member of the mustard family.

The name comes from the Latin for turnip, not from the crime.

Canola is a variety bred to reduce undesirable compounds, though the terms are sometimes used interchangeably: The recipe calls for rapeseed oil or another neutral oil.
