As a Dipping Oil: Treat walnut oil like a condiment, similar to ketchup. Dip bread or other snacks in it for a rich, nutty taste and added nutrients.
Daily Consumption: For adults, it’s best to consume between 0 to 25 milliliters of walnut oil each day. You can use it in various cooking methods like frying, sautéing, drizzling on salads, or even drinking it directly, with the best time being on an empty stomach in the morning.
Cooking: When cooking, you can mix walnut oil with other oils in a 1:4 ratio. Avoid using high heat; keep the temperature below 160 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing the oil to heat until it’s about 80% hot. High temperatures can diminish the nutritional benefits of the unsaturated fatty acids in walnut oil.
Salads and Cold Dishes: For salads or cold vegetable dishes, simply drizzle walnut oil over the ingredients and toss to combine. Its rich, nutty flavor enhances the dish while adding nutritional value.
Adding to Beverages: You can also mix walnut oil directly into beverages like milk, yogurt, honey, or juice for an added nutritional boost.
As a Seasoning: Use walnut oil as a flavor enhancer by adding it to prepared soups, pasta, fillings, stir-fried dishes, or sauces. Its unique flavor makes meals more diverse in nutrition.
