canola

Works better for me than canola, as I sometimes fry at above 400F (canola's smoke point).

And for anyone who's not familiar, rapeseed oil is sold as canola oil in the US and Canada.

Refined and extra-light grades of olive oil have a higher smoke point than canola (rapeseed) oil, actually.

Secondly, for Americans at least, they don't mention canola/rapeseed oil at all, and that's by far the most commonly used here.

Olive oil is processed mechanically, canola oil is processed chemically, so that's a pretty wide gap that people might fight over.

US FDA rules say that canola oil must be less than 2% Erucic acid.

Do you avoid canola for baking because the flavor tends to show up?

Indeed, I meant to cast doubt on hard and fast classifications with the olive oil versus canola oil example!

It has no relevance to you as a consumer of canola oil.

The key step in partial hydrogenation is mixing hydrogen with the oil, [1] while a step in canola refining is mixing hexane with the oil.

The dose of glyphosate you'd get from canola oil is tiny.

Imagine hydroponic greenhouses in some wasteland growing canola, for example.

The mention of whale oil being superior to "canola oil" for lighting purposes is rather anachronistic.

It's similarly "good for you" like Olive oil and is relatively inexpensive at Costco (though nowhere near as cheap as Canola or Peanut oil).

Biodiesel -- hemp or canola oil -- runs about $1,000/bbl, roughly 25x the longt-erm price of oil (about $40/bbl), and 10x the price of "expensive" oil ($100/bbl).

I'm pretty sure canola is not the most common used in America, soy (sold as "vegetable oil") is; and, as others have noted, they do address canola by its other name, rapeseed.

Canola oil contains by definition less than 2% its total fatty acids as erucic acid.

And the majority of GMO crops being grown: Canola, Maize, Soybean, and Cotton aren't stopping these children from going blind either.

Canola, soy and sugar beet modification is for roundup readiness (glyphosate).
