Q: Olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers, but where does canola oil come from--is canola oil rapeseed oil? A: No. Canola oil comes from canola seed. Canola is the name given to a very healthy oil that was developed from rapeseed. But it is not rapeseed oil and has vastly different fatty acid and other properties than rapeseed oil. Canola was developed using traditional plant breeding methods to remove undesirable qualities in rapeseed. In terms of their properties, canola oil is as different from rapeseed oil as olive oil is as different from corn oil. www.canola.org And their yields do vary, as do their oil content, but close enough for who its for, eh? the Americans did not like the name association. > > Hakan > Wheres the link for that? What Americans? The Canadian Americans, Mexican Americans, Latin Americans, Southern Americans. Come now, whom exactly are you trying to defer? Another reason for Canola, it was a good marketing move, something your going to see a lot more of. Its Canadian Oil, Canola. something positive for their farmers and using a Nationalist name to to also show they're proud of their country. Oil content has more to do with precipitation,weather, seed variety, land/soil structure, time of year planted, weed interaction, etc. best to check with seed producers for best optimization in ones own neck of the woods, to get a more specific oil/yield idea. ------------------------ Yahoo!
