"Colza oil is a non-drying oil obtained from the seeds of Brassica campestris, var. oleifera, a variety of the plant that produces Swedish turnips. Colza is extensively cultivated in France, Belgium, United States of America, the Netherlands and Germany. In France, especially, the extraction of the oil is an important industry. In commerce, colza is classed with rapeseed oil, to which it is very closely allied in both source and properties. It is a comparatively in-odorous oil of a yellow colour."
We use this in norway as a taste- neutral oil for cooking and baking stuff.
it grows naturally in norway and other scandinavic countries, so i'd bet it could even be a crop able to live in H&H.
"Brassica rapa (syn. Brassica campestris esculenta), commonly known as field mustard or turnip mustard is a plant widely cultivated as a leaf vegetable, a root vegetable, and an oilseed."
It makes bright yellow, pretty fields.
