| Basic foodstuffs | Oil

Rapeseed Oil, Canola oil, or LEAR oil is low erucic acid rapeseed oil. Canola is the marketing name in North America, for obvious reasons. Erucic acid is poisonous.

It has a high smoke point which makes it suitable for high-temperature frying. It is also composed of mostly mono-unsaturated fat, considered good for health.
