Rapeseed Oil And Salt

Rapeseed oil, also known as canola oil, is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. The seeds are crushed to extract the oil, which is then refined to remove impurities and often treated to reduce its naturally bitter flavor.

Rapeseed oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods due to its neutral flavor and versatility. It functions as a fat or oil, providing moisture and texture in baked goods like cookies and biscuits, and is also found in snacks like popcorn and peanut products.

Rapeseed 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 and omega-6 fatty acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated rapeseed oil. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe.
