Carbon Cycle Crush provides an opportunity to buy expeller-pressed Canola meal at a very affordable price. They produce Canola meal which is used as an alternative for soy meal. For its production, the company’s crush facility crushes it mechanically which is hexane free, enriched with omega-3 and has a high fat content. It can also be called expeller-pressed or virgin canola meal. Due to the fact that hexane is not used in the process of extraction, it means that no cold-pressing or heat is used. Skipping this process during the extraction makes the meal high in nutrients, and retains its residual and natural values. The final result of the whole process is good for livestock ranchers, for the environment and also for the buyer’s pocket.
