Rapeseed oil is extracted from the seeds of the Brassica campestris, or rapeseed plant. It is well-known for its bright yellow flowers which bloom from May to June and turn the entire fields into a yellow sea.
Apart from oil production, rapeseed is also an excellent honey crop. You might also know this plant as canola, which is a rapeseed that has been bred to decrease the levels of two undesirable compounds in the seeds: erucic acid and glucosinolates.
Rapeseed oil mainly consists of triacylglycerols comprised of oleic acid (60 – 75%), linoleic acid, lutein, and the highest amount of phenolics among all vegetable oils (mainly sinapic acid). The majority of the rapeseed oil is used in food production and as a biofuel. It is one of the lesser-used base oils in skincare and has occlusive and emollient properties.
