Rapeseed oil is a vegetable oil that is extracted from rapeseed, a bright yellow plant from the Brassicaceae family. Commonly used in the past for street lighting or as an "ecological" fuel, its food use is being rediscovered today.
In fact, rapeseed oil is rich in omega 3 and omega 6, and contains oleic, gadoleic, palmitic and stearic acid. In fact its consumption is currently associated with the reduction of cardiovascular diseases, by virtue of the fact that it contains such polyunsaturated fatty acids.
