Lots of canola fields around where I live. When the canola is in flower, the fields are a beautiful brilliant yellow. ❤

Never knew this and used it for years. Always wondered what a “canola” was.

Never knew that rapeseed and canola seed are same. Fields of rapeseed are quite common in UK.

Player #89867741, Look at the ingredients on salad dressing labels or commercially baked goods. You see it along with soy oils

R - Send and R - Sup, I didn't know it was a biofuel for diesel engines until now. Better than a petroleum source.

Michele, I try to avoid canola here in the US. I use mainly extra-virgin olive oil from California, and coconut oil or butter.

joymarch016, that’s crazy that it’s considered poison in CANADA but totally fine in the US.

I’m surprised olive oil doesn’t appear in the ranking. It’s used extensively throughout Southern Europe

Canola oil is considered poison in Europe and Canada and cannot be sold legally there as a food product.

I have a friend who says it’s terrible for you. I do use it; I could taste the difference when frying foods.
