What Is A Nut Oil?
A Nut Oil is a liquid derived from a nut. Besides that obvious definition, a nut oil is not a solid. If it were a solid, it would be called a wax. The meat of the nut is pressed until it expells the oil from the meat, hence “Nut Oil”.
Nut Oils are sold either “Filtered” or “RBDW” (refined, bleached, deordorized, and winterized).
As with most oils, Nut Oils are vulnerable to heat and light. You should store your Nut Oils in a dark and cool environment away from heat and light.
Nut Oil does not come from a plant, a vegetable, or a fruit. Only from a nut. However, some nuts are from fruits such as the kernel of an apricot.
Nut Oils share many characteristics and uses with vegetables oils. If you do not have success locating the information about a nut oil on tis site, please visit VegetableOilBlog.com which provides information on vegetable oils. The information you seek may be there.
A Nut Oil can be very useful for many things. See the “Uses” section for more information.
