Canola Oil is used in our Vegetable Oil Blends.
Canola refers to a cultivar of either Rapeseed or Field Mustard. Their seeds are used to produce edible oil that is fit for human consumption because it has lower levels of erucic acid than traditional rapeseed oils.
The name "canola" was derived from "Canadian oil, low acid" in 1978. The rapeseed blossom is a major source of nectar for honeybees.
Canola is a key ingredient in many foods. Its reputation as a healthy oil has created high demand in markets around the world.
Canola oil is low in saturated fat (less than 7%), is high in monounsaturated fat, and has a beneficial omega-3 fatty acid profile; it has well established heart health benefits and is recognized by many health professional organizations.
