About Rapeseed oil

Rapeseed oil is an edible oil obtained from rapeseed. Refined oil is typically clear and pale yellow with a mild flavour, while less-refined forms may retain more colour and a stronger seed-like taste. The name covers oil from different rapeseed varieties and processing methods.

It is used for frying, baking, dressings, and other cooking applications, and is sold in refined and less-refined forms. These forms can differ in flavour, colour, and cooking properties; the term does not specify a particular refinement level or product.
