Canola Oil is an edible oil derived from rapeseed, a bright yellow flowering plant.
Canola was once a specialty crop in Canada but has become a prominent crop in North America, at first because of the need to use it as a lubricant for steam engines during World War II and then because of the health claims.
The Canola Council of Canada claims that canola oil is the healthiest of all common cooking oils, though no clinical trials have ever confirmed this fact. But canola oil is a popular choice for frying foods, salad dressings, and baking.
