Canola oil is vegan

Answer 2

Answer 3

Yes! Canola oil comes from pressed canola seed. The seed is harvested from pods that are formed after those beautiful yellow flowers you’ve probably seen in the summer fade away. North American farmers have been growing canola seed for over 30 years.

Answer 4

Yes, but I wouldn't eat it.

It's related to the rapeseed, which is poisonous to humans. Sure, only "slightly" so, say the Canola producers, but for me poison is poison. Producers say, "Oh, eating a little won't harm you, only eating a lot will do harm." That is noticeable harm.

See, it was decided to try to take rapeseed oil that was used mostly for industrial purposed and see if they could alter it to expand their market into the edible oil industry. They succeeded; mostly with backpocket money. To my knowledge, I’ve never see or heard of cold pressed organic canola oil being sold in proper containers -- this is because educated people know that such oils are not to be consumed. To my knowledge, Canola oil is a very highly processed oil, usually hydrogenated too. Yet, this oil works really well for fuelling one’s car or truck. I did some personal research on Canola a couple years ago and it was really difficult to find any read hard facts, but I finally did (sorry, cannot find my research; I just stored my conclusion in my brain: “don’t eat it”, and moved on).

Canola is not genetically engineered, as some say, originally, but is a hybrid. Unfortunately, most of today’s Canola is either genetically engendered or infected or mixed with genetically engineered varieties. There was a lot of money involved in having this new variety (not actually rapeseed anymore) passed by the government as an acceptable human grade edible oil. It’s just along the same lines as cottonseed oil being sold as human grade consumable oil; evil. Avoid eating such oils. But guess what, nearly every deep-fryer in North American is full of cheap canola oil that also contains all sorts of chemicals and additives in the form of “defoaming agents”. Yum! I know, I used to work in restaurants, but I didn’t eat there.

Answer 5

Yes, Canola oil is vegetarian.
The canola is a kind of rapeseed plant which was developed by Canadian growers as a low-saturated-fat cooking oil.

It was developed (and trademarked!) in the 1970s, using natural selective breeding methods, not genetic engineering. Having said that, about 75% of the US crop is now grown from genetically-modified (GM) seed.

If you live in the UK, you'll be familiar with the ordinary rapeseed plant -- it's the bright yellow flower that you see fields and fields of in spring and summer.

Answer 6

Yes canola is rapeseed oil. Canola is a low erucic acid type of rapeseed bred in Canada (Can-ada= Can-ola)

Answer 7

Canola is plant,
Any of several cultivars of oilseed rape (more fully: canola oil); the vegetable oil high in mono-unsaturated fatty acid obtained from these cultivars.
