Walnut oil, as its name implies, is a vegetable edible oil extracted from walnuts. Everyone knows that walnut is a kind of food with high nutritional value, and walnut oil is also rich in nutrients. But are there any precautions for eating walnut oil? Let's find out whether walnut oil can be heated for cooking. What are the hazards of high-temperature cooking of walnut oil?

First of all, walnut oil can be used for heating cooking, and walnut oil is also an edible oil, which can be used for cooking. When cooking in daily life, walnut oil can be used as ordinary edible oil. Of course, it is worth noting that heating does have a certain negative impact on the nutritional value of walnut oil. This is because walnut oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which is the main reason why walnut oil has higher nutritional value than other edible oils.

However, high temperature heating of unsaturated fatty acids will cause the loss of nutrients, so walnut oil is more suitable for seasoning cold dishes. As for high-temperature cooking, whether it is walnut oil or other edible oil, the boiling point of oil is relatively high, which can tolerate higher temperatures and generally will not cause too much harm to human body.

Generally speaking, walnut oil can be cooked by heating, but heating walnut oil may cause some damage to the nutritional value of walnut oil. Therefore, although high-temperature frying of walnut oil has no obvious harm, high-temperature frying is not recommended.
