What it is

Rapeseed is a flowering plant with yellow flowers, grown for its oil-rich seeds. The seeds are harvested and pressed to extract a vegetable oil. This oil is then refined for use in food products.

Why it's used

Rapeseed oil, also known as canola oil, is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in processed foods. Its mild flavor and versatility make it suitable for baking, frying, and as a component in salad dressings and sauces.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated rapeseed oil. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming rapeseed oil at typical dietary levels.
