The Canola plant usually blooms in the summer and is famous for its golden-yellow flowers.

Canola or rapeseed belongs to the cabbage family and it is edible from leaf to flower.
In the past young shoots were eaten as a salad.

The oil from canola is used for cooking and baking at home, restaurants and in food processing plants.
Canola oil also has non-food uses - for example biodiesel and bio-plastics.
Canola meal, the part left over after the seeds are crushed and the oil extracted, is used for animal feed, pet food and fertilizer.
