Rapeseed Lecithin
Although rapeseeds contain only half as much lecithin as soybeans, rapeseed lecithin has grown tremendously popular over the past decade. Interest in non-soy lecithin has grown because of GMO issues in soybeans and possible food allergic reactions caused by soy as mentioned above.
Rapeseed is an annual oil crop in the Brassica family, and is related to mustard, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and turnip. The name is derived through Old English from a term for turnip, rapum. Rapeseed plants grow from three to five feet tall and have yellow flowers with four petals.
Traditionally, rapeseed is grown for the production of animal feed, vegetable oil for human consumption, and biodiesel, especially in Europe.
Rapeseed is the traditional name for the group of oilseed crops in the Brassicaceae family.
The lecithin offered by Austrade Inc. is made from rapeseed oil of non-genetically engineered seeds of European origin
