What is rapeseed oil?

Rapeseed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the rapeseed plant, also known as canola. It is a light oil with a mild flavor and a high smoke point, making it suitable for various cooking applications. Rapeseed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which is why it is considered healthy. It is often used for baking, roasting, frying and as a base for dressings and sauces. Due to its beneficial nutritional properties, rapeseed oil is a popular alternative to other oils in the kitchen. Rapeseed oil is also regularly used as an ingredient in the cosmetics industry due to its nourishing and moisturizing properties.
