[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2414157, member: 196898"] Rapeseed used to be a nonprofit crop that was sown between seasons as lovage to fix atmospheric nitrogen. It was not sold because it is dangerous to both humans and animals, and is poisonous especially to ruminants, When the mustard flowers bloomed the crop would be ploughed into the field as a natural fertiliser in the interests of sustainable farming using crop rotation. It is high in erucic acid, which is poisonous to us, but Big Ag found that if you process it in various caustic chemicals, then this can neutralise the poisons into a form that can be filtered out and then we get Veg Oil or Canola. The original Canola apparently killed many in USA, Canada, and Spain before they finalised the industrial process needed to crack the oil to make it edible. There was a time when Canola was banned worldwide, but now it is available everywhere.
