Canola

An edible rapeseed variety. About one million acres of canola are produced annually in the U.S., with most production in South Dakota and Minnesota. It is currently produced almost entirely for food uses as a healthier alternative to other vegetable oils. However, the low level of saturated fat in canola oil is also a desirable characteristic for biodiesel production, as it provides improved cold flow properties.
