Walnut Oil
Walnut oil has a low smoking point, which means it will reach its boiling point quickly, preventing it from being used in high-heat cooking. You can, however, use walnut cooking oil as a dressing oil in salads, pancakes, or even ice cream. It also has a healthy balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making it anti-inflammatory and safe.
Because of its low smoke point, this oil is not suitable for cooking, but Walnut Oil can be used in a variety of other ways. Howard uses the oil to drizzle over pancakes, fresh fruit, and ice cream. She also incorporates it into her frothed milk for coffee drinks. Walnut oil has a good omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio, which helps to keep inflammation at bay.
"Walnut oil is a healthy choice and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, primarily alpha-linolenic acid,” Levinson says.
“Walnut oil is unrefined and has a very low smoke point, so it should not be used for cooking. It has a rich, nutty flavor and is best for salad dressings and as a flavor booster to finish a dish,” Levinson says. According to Warren, walnut oil is ideal for desserts and other recipes that benefit from a nutty flavor.
