Canola Oil

Canola was originally a trademark, but is now a generic term for edible varieties of rapeseed oil.  The word “rape” in rapeseed comes from the Latin word “rapum,” meaning turnip.  Canola oil is made at a processing facility by slightly heating and then crushing the seed. Almost all commercial grade canola oil is then refined using hexane.
