Whats an equivalent to rape seed oil for cooking use?

we can't find rapeseed oil anywhere so we need to find something equivalent - HELPWhats an equivalent to rape seed oil for cooking use?
Rape seed oil sells as Canola oil because it sounds nicer. Who wants to eat something named rape.Whats an equivalent to rape seed oil for cooking use?
wok oil is more or less the same
Are you sure you don't mean grapeseed oil? Rapeseed oil is the same thing as canola oil. If you can't find canola oil, then you're looking for a mild-tasting oil with a relatively high smoke point. Good substitutes would be peanut, sunflower, or corn oil. But I can't imagine where you would be that you can't find canola oil.





If you mean grapeseed oil, it's primary advantage is a VERY high smoke point. Soybean and safflower oil are about equivalent. The cooking oil with the highest available smoke point is refined avacado oil.
Rape seed oil is just one type of many inexpensive, bland (ie. with no strong or distinct taste) cooking oils with good heating properties. It is interchangeable with eg. corn, groundnut and sunflower oils, as well as many generic vegetable oils.





Olive oil is different in that it is more expensive, has a distinct taste, and doesn't stand high heat very well.
try using grape seed oil.......peanut oil will work as well as sunflower...
How about Olive Oil. It is health and clean to use.
Groundnut oil is tasteless, and you only need to use about a teaspoonful.
try ground nut oil.
sunflower oil just as good, but sesame oil is better
Under 21 CFR 184.1555, low erucic acid rapeseed oil derived from Brassica napus or Brassica campestris is also known as canola oil. Because you consider low erucic acid oil derived from Brassica juncea to be substantially equivalent to low erucic acid rapeseed oil derived from Brassica napus or Brassica campestris, you intend to market low erucic acid oil derived from Brassica juncea as ';canola oil.';
As a couple of people have already said canola is an improved variety of rape seed . Canola comes from the words CANadian Oil Low Acid and it is extracted from the seed of the plant Brassica rapus hence the term rape seed. This plant is closely related to the turnip plant.
LOL! You could ';substitute'; canola oil.





(It's a different name for the same thing. Manufacturers decided people don't like the name ';rapeseed';, so they made up the word ';Canola'; to replace it!)





Now if you can't find canola oil, you could use sunflower oil...
I would try peanut oil or sesame oil.
Indecent Assualt seed oil?
For a long time Canola oil was made of rape seed...read below!





Canola is an edible oil which originated in Canada. Today, canola is grown and consumed around the world as a superior edible oilseed. The yellow flower of the canola plant is now synonymous with the Canadian prairie landscape. Growing two- to six-feet tall, the yellow flowers in turn produce seed pods about two inches long, similar in shape to pea pods. The seed pods are about one-fifth the size of pea pods and contain twenty or more tiny round black or brownish-yellow seeds. Each seed contains at least 40 percent oil, which is extracted to produce Canola Harvest庐 margarines and oils.
