The rapeseed plant is a flowering plant belonging to the Brassicaceae family, which also includes cabbage and mustard. It is primarily cultivated for its seeds, which are used to produce canola oil, a popular cooking oil known for its low saturated fat content. The plant typically grows to about 3 to 5 feet tall and produces bright yellow flowers. Rapeseed is grown in many regions around the world, including Canada, China, and parts of Europe. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers cooler climates. The seeds are not only valuable for oil production but also serve as animal feed and can be used in biofuel production.
