Rapeseed is a flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, primarily cultivated for its seeds, which are used to produce canola oil. This oil is popular for cooking and food production due to its low saturated fat content and high levels of healthy fats. The plant typically grows to about 3 feet tall and produces bright yellow flowers. In addition to oil production, rapeseed is also used as animal feed and in the production of biodiesel. The seeds contain protein and other nutrients, making them a valuable resource in agriculture. Rapeseed is grown in many countries, including Canada, China, and India.
