Driving through canola. A premier floral experience.
Part of channel(s): Liveleakers (promoted)This is from a couple summers ago. It's an access road into a natural gas well that goes through a huge field of canola. Canola is one of the best things about summer. Sure brightens up the landscape.

Wow, as far as the eye can see. Is that the stuff they make cooking oil out of?

The seeds of the Rapeseed are used to produce edible oil suitable for consumption by humans and livestock.
The oil is also suitable for use as biodiesel.

Yep. The name "canola" was derived from "Canadian oil, low acid" in 1978.

this is not a Canola field. It is a rapeseed field. Rapeseed oil was rebranded as "Canola" (Canadian Oil, or Canadian Oil Low Acid) oil because of its name.

Canola Facts
"Canola was developed in the early 1970s using traditional plant breeding techniques by Canadian plant breeders to remove the anti-nutritional components (erucic acid and glucosinolates) from rapeseed to assure its safety for human and animal consumption. The canola plant also produced seeds with a very low level of saturated fat, seven percent or below.
Christened “Canola” from “Can” (for Canada) and “ola” (for oil low acid), canola is not, strictly speaking, ra More..
