What does CANOLA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A cooking oil pressed from the seeds of a specially bred, low acid variety of rapeseed, and also the plant itself.
Canola was developed in Canada in the twentieth century by breeding rapeseed to remove the bitter compounds that made the original oil unsuitable for cooking, and its name blends Canada with oil. The plant produces bright yellow flowers and is grown across large areas of farmland for both its seed oil and, less often, as animal feed. Because canola oil is low in saturated fat and has little flavor of its own, it became one of the most widely used cooking oils in North American kitchens. The same crop is called oilseed rape in Britain, even when it is the identical canola variety.
How CANOLA is used
Common in cooking and agriculture, especially in North America, for both the oil and the growing plant.
- She fried the vegetables in a little canola oil.
- Fields of canola turned the hillside bright yellow in June.
- The recipe calls for canola instead of butter.
- Farmers rotate wheat with canola to keep the soil healthy.
- Canola oil is prized for its mild taste and light texture.
