Rapeseed was being cultivated in India as early as 4000 B.C. and it spread to China and Japan 2000 years ago. Rapeseed oil is predominantly cultivated in its winter form in most of Europe and Asia due to the requirement of vernalization to start the process of flowering.

The rapeseed flower field was originally a farmer's field, but the large area of rapeseed flowers looked too beautiful, making it a unique attraction.

Rapeseed flowers are bright yellow and about 17 mm across.They are radial and consist of four petals in a typical cross-form, alternating with four sepals. They have indeterminate racemose flowering starting at the lowest bud and growing upward in the following days.

The flowers have two lateral stamens with short filaments, and four median stamens with longer filaments whose anthers split away from the flower's center upon flowering.

The rapeseed pods are green and elongated siliquae during development that eventually ripen to brown. They grow on pedicels 1 to 3 centimetres long, and can range from 5 to 10 cm in length.

Each pod has two compartments separated by an inner central wall within which a row of seeds develop.The seeds are round and have a diameter of 1.5 to 3 millimetres. They have a reticulate surface texture,and are black and hard at maturity.
