The oil made from the seed is sometimes also called canola, which is one reason why it is sometimes confused with rapeseed oil, but this comes from a different Brassica species (Brassica napus). The oilseeds known as canola are sometimes particular varieties of Brassica rapa (termed Polish Canola) but usually the related species Brassica napus (rapeseed) and Brassica juncea (mustard greens).

ReplyDeletePretty yellow! We see yellow fields around here and I just call them mustard but it could be canola.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting photo of endless a canola field. I'm still not sure I know exactly what it is except a beautiful color. I will look it up. Your explanation seemed to say it is a lot of things.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry my comment is late. We were out of town and I ran out of time on Monday to visit everyone.
Happy Blue Monday,
Jeanne
