Quality
High-Quality Rapeseed Straw
Rapeseed straw is the residual product left after the seeds of the rapeseed crop have been harvested. Rapeseed is primarily grown for its oil-rich seeds, which are used for the production of rapeseed oil, a popular vegetable oil for human consumption and also for biodiesel production. Rapeseed straw differs from other types of straw, such as wheat straw or barley straw, due to its coarser and harder structure.
