Canola oil

Canola oil is a type of vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the canola plant. The plant is a part of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes cabbage and broccoli. Canola oil is widely used in cooking and food production due to its neutral taste and high heat tolerance.

To make canola oil, the seeds are harvested from the canola plant, then crushed to extract the oil. The oil goes through a process of refining and filtering to remove impurities and improve its quality. The final product is a clear, light oil that is commonly used in frying, baking, and salad dressings.

Canola oil is a popular ingredient in many food products because of its mild flavour and versatile uses. It is often found in salad dressings, mayonnaise, baked goods, and snack foods. Canola oil can also be used for sautéing vegetables, frying foods, and greasing pans due to its high smoke point, which means it can withstand high cooking temperatures without breaking down.
