About Canola

What Is Canola?

Canola is a variety developed from the Brassica family, grown widely in Canada. Canola quality is defined by very low erucic acid in the oil and low glucosinolates in the meal—helping make both oil and meal suitable for food and feed uses.

From Seed to Oil and Meal

A canola seed contains roughly about 45% oil. After crushing/extraction, the remaining solids become a protein-rich meal used widely in animal nutrition.

What Canola Is Used For

1) Heart-Healthy Cooking Oil

Canola oil is recognized for high unsaturated fats and low saturated fat compared to common cooking oils, making it a versatile option for home and commercial kitchens.

2) Premium Protein for Animal Feed

Canola meal is widely used as an efficient protein source across dairy, livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed rations.

3) Renewable Fuels

Canola is also used as a feedstock for renewable fuels.
