Why Walnut Oil Instead of Nuts?

Walnut kernels are harmful if there is a cough, bronchitis, diathesis, allergies, asthma, pneumonia, urticaria, eczema, psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. Walnuts are not recommended for people with gastritis, colitis, enterocolitis, stomach ulcers or duodenal ulcers. Excessive consumption of walnuts can cause headaches and even vomiting. Meanwhile, walnut oil has a therapeutic effect on these diseases. The difference between the use of nuts and oil is explained by the presence of coarse fiber in the kernels and a film-husk covering the kernel, which, due to the high content of tannins and bitterness, interferes with the work of the pancreas and liver.

Walnut Oil for Cooking 

Walnut oil has a mild flavour and nutty aroma. It is perfect for cold salads of any kind. You can gently enrich grilled fish, steaks, poultry, and pasta with a drizzle of walnut oil. This oil is not recommended for cooking hot dishes as omega fatty acids are sensitive to heat which changes their beneficial composition.
