Rapeseed ('''Brassica napus subsp. napus), also known as rape and oilseed rape and canola', is a yellow-flowered member of the Brassicaceae family.
The plant is cultivated primarily for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains mildly toxic erucic acid. The term canola refers to a group of rapeseed cultivars with very low levels of erucic acid that are prized as food for humans and animals. The plant is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world.
