油菜 (Canola) is a type of flowering plant in the Brassica family, primarily cultivated for its seeds. These seeds are rich in oil, which is extracted to produce canola oil, a popular cooking oil known for its light flavor and high smoke point. Canola plants typically have bright yellow flowers and are grown in various regions around the world, including Canada and China. The oil extracted from canola seeds is low in saturated fat and contains beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, making it a healthier option for cooking and food preparation. Additionally, canola is often used in the production of biodiesel and animal feed, contributing to its importance in agriculture and the economy.
