Rapeseed oil has been used by Kiravians since time immemorial as a cooking oil, and was the predominant vegetable oil used in Kiravian cuisine before exposure to imported {{wp|olive oil}} and other alternatives. In modern times, the oil is still in very high demand for a wide range of applications, most prominently for the production of biodiesel, as an ingredient in mass-produced {{wp|margarine}}, {{wp|mayonnaise}}, and other condiments, and for industrial use in paints, lubricants, and soaps. It is Great Kirav's most important agricultural export. | Rapeseed oil has been used by Kiravians since time immemorial as a cooking oil, and was the predominant vegetable oil used in Kiravian cuisine before exposure to imported {{wp|olive oil}} and other alternatives.
