Canola can be found growing in fields all across Alberta. It is a special crop with plants from three to five feet tall that produce pods from which seeds are harvested and crushed to create canola oil and meal. These plants also produce small, yellow flowers, which beautify the environment and create bright yellow fields! 

 

In this issue of The Story of Food we will learn about the canola crop and how the pressed canola seeds make the world's healthiest cooking oil.
