Canola Oil
Whatsapp Order
Canola Oil is a light, non-greasy vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Canola plant (Brassica napus, Brassica rapa), a cultivar of rapeseed developed for its low erucic acid content. Rich in monounsaturated fats, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and vitamin E, it is known for its heart-healthy profile and neutral flavor.
Widely used in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors, Canola Oil serves as a versatile base oil for cooking, skincare formulations, softgel encapsulation, and biodiesel production. Its high smoke point and oxidative stability make it ideal for both cold and high-temperature applications.
