What kind of vegetable is rape?

Rape, commonly referred to as rapeseed, is a type of flowering plant in the Brassica family, which also includes vegetables like cabbage and broccoli. The seeds of the rapeseed plant are used to produce canola oil, while the leaves and stems are edible and can be consumed as greens. In some regions, particularly in Asia, the young leaves and flowers are used in cooking. Rape is valued for its oil content and nutritional benefits.
