Their seeds are used to produce edible oil that is fit for human consumption because it has lower levels of erucic acid than traditional rapeseed oils and to produce livestock feed because it has reduced levels of the toxic glucosinolates. Canola was originally naturally bred from rapeseed in Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur R.
