What Oils Are Made From. The main difference between vegetable and canola oils is the type of plant they are made from. Canola oil is extracted from rapeseed plants, which are related to mustard and cabbage plants. Vegetable oil on the other hand, is no other than soybean oil in many cases.
Seed, Meal and Oil. Canola seeds come from pods of canola plants and are crushed to produce oil and meal. Each seed contains about 45 percent oil. This large percentage of oil comes in a small package; canola seeds are similar in size to poppy seeds, though brownish-black in color. Canola oil is the third most consumed oil in the world and number two by volume in the United States. But it is number one in health everywhere.
