Rapeseed oil
Rapeseed oil is a type of vegetable oil that comes from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. It is a popular cooking oil known for its light flavour and versatility in various recipes. You might also see it called canola oil, which is a type of rapeseed oil that has been specially bred to have lower levels of certain compounds.
To make rapeseed oil, the seeds are first cleaned and then pressed to extract the oil. This process can be done using mechanical methods or by using a chemical solvent. The extracted oil is then refined, filtered, and sometimes deodorised to produce the final product that you find on your supermarket shelves.
Rapeseed oil is commonly used in cooking and baking because of its mild taste and high smoke point, which means it can be used for frying at high temperatures without burning. It is also a source of healthy unsaturated fats, like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health. You may find rapeseed oil in products like salad dressings, marinades, baked goods, and even some margarines.
