　　Boxiang Rapeseed Oil

　　Rapeseed is a traditional industry in Linxiang, having been planted sporadically since 1952. The area features more mountains than plains, and most rapeseed bases are located in hilly regions. It enjoys unique climatic conditions such as deep soil layers, ample sunlight, moderate rainfall, no harsh winters or hot summers, and distinct seasons—all of which are very conducive to the healthy growth and coloring of rapeseeds. The stable temperatures during the flowering period and afterward are favorable for fruit setting. During the seed maturation period, the large diurnal temperature variation (10–15°C from January to March) significantly contributes to high grain plumpness. The maximum yield of Boxiang rapeseed has surpassed 420 kilograms, reaching an exceptionally high level for early-maturing autumn-sown rapeseed in China. The variety "Deyouzao No.1," when cultivated in Boxiang, yields oil that is rich in aroma, has a beautiful gloss, and is of superior quality compared to its origin.
