Not only does walnut oil taste way better (or less bad), it also contains way more omega-3 and omega-6 and is only slightly more expensive.

I agree.......walnut oil may be more expensive.......that may be it

 

[Jrizzle385]

Probably because I've never seen walnut oil in a store

 

[Moen]

Perhaps it's deemed too healthy for the US market

 

[VTliftVT]

Perhaps it's deemed too healthy for the US market

I buy mine from Kroger...pretty standard grocery store.

 

[robot]

flavor

I use mac oil for cooking and evoo for salads.
Several of the nut oils are pretty darn tasty.

 

[roofus_5]

Possibly nut allergies? I have had no known nut allergies my whole life and a few months ago I bought a bag of walnuts and the roof of my mouth started itching like crazy after just a few. Do people with peanut allergies have to avoid food made in peanut oil?

 

[Dangkolo]

I use Olive oil because I am a blue-collar bodybuilder...........

lol....... o-oil is a religious think with my wife, so thats what i get

 

[kid1dakota]

good question bro? I see most recipes do call for cooking with or topping olive.I know a lot of healthy foods that are mediteranean based use olive oil primarily.come up with a diet using walnut oil,then get a celebrity to endorse how they lost all their weight on your diet with walnut oil.It would then be on shelves in every store....

 

[mikeyt869]

i just picked up some walnut oil today at the grocery store, ive been using olive oil all along but im gonna try this.

 

[Dangkolo]

with all joking aside I prefer to put on food when cooled down rather than cooking with it.

Better HDL levels...

EVOO is supposed to be good for HDL levels, but from what I've read Walnut Oil is even better.

But- back to the supply issue: I can't find any around me, and we don't have "Krogers" here.

 

[shoestring]

I love olive oil & could prolly drink it like water. We use it every day.

 

[boattail]

dont hear much about grape seed oil anymore

That is not a bad idea at all

It does taste way better in protein shakes than olive oil does, try it!

 

[liftalot79]

Walnut Oil?

I think it won't hurt to give it a try. Thanks
