It’s rapeseed oil. Rape grows well in Canada. The natural variety of rape was slightly poisonous and did not yield an edible oil, but Canadian scientists developed a hybrid that eliminated the poison.
Since rape and rapeseed are rather unpleasant sounding, and unlikely to be the first choice of shoppers, they called it canola, CANadian Oil Low Acid since the poison in natural rapeseed is an acid.
Thanks. We only use canola oil every 2 or 3 weeks to fry chicken or shrimp. I don’t buy any prepackaged food for other reasons, I am allergic to corn so that is out. Butter and olive oil is it for day to day cooking.
I heard Donald Trump tweeted Megyn Kelly to go eat some rapeseed.
The GOPe were not impressed, and social media went nuts!
