Canola refers to both an edible oil (canola oil) and a type of rapeseed.
The plant is a cultivar of Brassica napus, Brassica rapa or Brassica juncea. They are well known for their seeds, from which the canola cooking oil is made.[1] The oil is widely used for preparing food,[2][3] It has very little saturated fat (less than 10%), a lot of monounsaturated fat (about 60%), and plenty of polyunsaturated fats (about 30%).[4][5]
Besides cooking, there are also other ways to use canola oil. One of these is to produce biodiesel fuel for cars and trucks.
