Canola oil

Canola oil is a vegetable oil derived from a variety of rapeseed that is low in erucic acid, as opposed to colza oil. There are both edible and industrial forms produced from the seed of any of several cultivars of the plant family Brassicaceae. Made from crushed canola seeds, it is one of the best oils for heart health. Canola oil has less saturated fat than many other oils commonly used.
