This year I came to know the
correct name- rapeseed. Up till last season, I presumed them mustard fields.
One can easily misinterpret the yellow flowers. The plant and flowers are quite
similar to mustard; which we Indians are quite familiar with. In fact rapeseed
and mustard belong to the same family of plants.
The fields are not in countryside
but serenely located in Cloche d’Or, the business district of Luxembourg City. In
the month of April-May when rapeseed is in full bloom; it becomes a favorite
walking destination for office goers during lunch break.
The edible oil which we get from
rapeseed is popularly known as canola oil. The vegetation is also used as
animal feed. Luxembourg has cold climate throughout the year hence not much
cereals cultivated. The agriculture produce is mostly used as animal fodder.
Whatever said and written the
fields look stunning under the bright sun.
