Canola Grading


Here's an actual shot of our canola being graded at the elevator...

You can only determine the value of canola by looking at the inside of it...There are 500 seeds on each strip...you put the tape on and then crush the seeds flat... If they are green inside the canola is not mature...it doesn't makes as good a quality of oil... also it's a lower quality if you find brown or black inside the seed...that means it as , or has begaun to spoil and go out of condition...

This reminds me of people...you can't tell their value by looking at them... In both people and canola... It's what's inside that counts !
