Organic Non-gmo Canola Oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the canola plant. The plant is a cultivar of rapeseed, bred to have low levels of erucic acid and glucosinolates. It is typically produced by crushing the seeds to extract the oil, followed by refining and deodorizing.

Manufacturers use canola oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in a wide variety of processed foods. Its neutral flavor and smooth texture make it suitable for baking, frying, and as a base for dressings and sauces. It is commonly found in baked goods, snacks, salad dressings, and margarines.

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 JECFA and EFSA have evaluated canola oil and its components. Some research suggests that consuming unsaturated fats, like those in canola oil, may have benefits for heart health when replacing saturated fats in the diet.
