Rapeseed, scientifically known as Brassica napus, is a bright-yellow flowering plant that belongs to the family Brassicaceae. It is primarily grown for its seeds, which are used to produce rapeseed oil and meal. While the oil is a major component in food production, the seed meal is used as animal feed. Rapeseed oil is valued for its low saturated fat content and is often used in cooking and food processing.
