Ngmo Canola Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the canola plant, a cultivar of rapeseed. The seeds are cleaned, crushed, and then the oil is extracted using mechanical pressing and/or solvent extraction. The crude oil is then refined to remove impurities, resulting in a neutral-flavored oil.

Canola oil is a versatile cooking oil used in a wide variety of foods. Manufacturers add it as a source of fat, providing moisture, flavor, and texture. It is commonly found in baked goods, salad dressings, snack foods, and fried products.

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. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not set specific limits for canola oil intake, but recommends limiting saturated and trans fats. Some studies suggest potential benefits of canola oil consumption as part of a balanced diet, while others raise questions about its processing and genetic modification, though evidence remains mixed.
