Hasn't it always been called rapeseed in the UK?
As I understand it, canola oil as a term is used predominantly only in the US and Canada, with canola itself being a portmanteau of Can -adian and Oil
CANadian Oil, Low Acidity
Edit: apparently that's a myth? It's ola as in oil
Not a myth. CAN-OLA came from a lab in canada.The rapeseed article on wiki has a section about it.
It's the -ola part I'm not sure about. "Can" 100% stands for Canada, no question about it
