ORGANIC RAPESEED OIL

 

WHAT IS ORGANIC RAPESEED?

Organic rapeseed is an exceptional little flower; behind a frail and delicate appearance it hides a treasure of benefits at the heart of its seed. Rapeseed, Brassica napus, belongs to the Cruciferae family. It is an oilseed herbaceous plant, resulting from the hybridization of a variety of cabbage (Brassica oleracea) and the turnip (Brassica campestris).

It is widely cultivated in Europe and Canada (where it is called Canola). Its development and growth occurs in three stages: rosette, bolting, flowering. The yellow rapeseed flowers are arranged in clusters. The fruits, or siliques (typical cruciferous fruits) are formed after the plant self-fertilizes. They contain small dark-colored seeds (brown or black), the number of which varies between 10 and 30. The latter are particularly rich in oil (45%), which encourages the cultivation of rapeseed. After pressing, we obtain a superb amber-colored organic rapeseed oil.
