Background
Canola is a genetic variation of rapeseed, developed by Canadian plant breeders for its nutritional qualities, particularly the low level of saturated fat. Canola is used to make cooking oil and biodiesel, a renewable fuel[2].
Canola is grown primarily in regions of Western Canada, with some acreage being planted in Ontario, the Pacific Northwest and north central US. Canola is also grown in other regions including Europe and Australia.
