Walnut Oil

Walnut Oil is a nut oil pressed from walnuts and prized for its delicate, toasty flavor; it’s commonly used in salads, dressings and as a finishing oil rather than for high-heat cooking. It is notable for its content of plant omega-3s (9000mg per 100g) — mainly ALA — and also supplies vitamin E and monounsaturated fats that contribute to its nutritious profile. Because it delivers mostly unsaturated fats and antioxidant compounds, it’s a heart-friendly choice when used in small amounts, though like all oils it is energy-dense and is best used as a flavoring or low-heat fat rather than for frying.
