canola seeds
Canola seeds come from the canola plant, a type of rapeseed that has been specifically bred to have low levels of erucic acid. These small, round seeds are typically yellow or brown and are known for their high oil content, making them a popular choice for producing canola oil. This oil is widely used in cooking and food processing due to its light flavor and health benefits.
In addition to oil production, canola seeds are also used as animal feed and in various industrial applications. The canola plant is grown primarily in regions with cool climates, such as parts of Canada and the United States. Its cultivation contributes to sustainable agriculture practices, as it can improve soil health and reduce erosion.
