Each: Organic Canola Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. The name 'canola' was developed by Canadian researchers to distinguish the edible varieties from older rapeseed varieties, which had higher levels of undesirable compounds. The oil is extracted from the seeds and then refined.

Canola oil is a versatile cooking oil used in a wide variety of foods. It is often chosen for its neutral flavor and ability to withstand high heat, making it suitable for baking, frying, and sautéing. It can also act as a source of fat in processed foods like breads and baked goods.

Canola oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated rapeseed oil. Some studies suggest potential benefits associated with its fatty acid profile, while others explore effects on inflammation, but the evidence is mixed and research is ongoing.
