/// What they’re Harvesting, I guarantee,
is called “Grapeseed,” (but minus the “G”).
Called The Colza, as well,
the real name, I can tell,
would result in bots censoring me.

/// These seeds grow in well-lit fertile soil,
and are processed to make cooking oil.
From a mustard-type plant,
if it’s stored wrong you can’t
keep it long— it will smell bad and spoil.

/// The oil named “canola” succeeds,
though it’s made from one type of these seeds,
since from Canada came
the first part of its name.
It is one of the heart-healthy breeds.

/// Women toiling long hours in the field
do their best toward increasing the yield.
They’re exploited and made
to accept what they’re paid;
sometimes actual “grape” is concealed.

/// Those gals in the field only wish
they had “Harvest Quiche”— (looks like “deep dish”).
But their actual lunch,
(if I’m right in my hunch),
is stale bread and some week-old dried fish.
