Tour Scotland travel video of a walk in blooming Canola fields on visit to rural North East Fife. Canola oil is a vegetable oil derived from a variety of rapeseed that is low in erucic acid, as opposed to colza oil. There are both edible and industrial forms produced from the seed of any of several cultivars of the plant family Brassicaceae. Brassica napus subsp. napus is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae, mustard or cabbage family, cultivated mainly for its oil rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of toxic erucic acid. Canola are a group of rapeseed cultivars which were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and are especially prized for use for human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and second-largest source of protein meal in the world All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
