The path, the sky and a sea of yellow
This is part of my path from home to Bramham Park where the Oil Seed Rape is probably at its best flower wise
The bright dandelion-yellow flowers of oilseed rape have been a familiar sight across farmland in spring across the country. Rapeseed oil has historically fulfilled a useful role as a "break crop" in farm rotation - to suppress weeds and improve soil quality
But whereas in the past the crop has been largely functional. It's being used as mayonnaise, in margarine, salads, anywhere vegetables are used. It has a good health profile, has low saturated fat, is high in omega-3, and some claim it is better than sunflower oil
