Rapeseed is an agricultural crop, and canola is originally a native wild plant. The plants are very similar and are classified under the same definition in the Codex Alimentarius (the WHO/FAO guidelines for food and foodstuffs). In the spring, the plant is adorned with its characteristic yellow flowers. Seventy-five percent of the world’s production takes place in China, Canada, and India. The cold-pressed oil from rapeseed/canola comprises only 8% of the yield from the seeds, but the fibers are used in the animal feed industry for vitamins, proteins, and unsaturated fats.
