nut oil

Extracted seed fat

Nut oil is oil extracted from nuts—walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, and others.

These oils are used in cooking, cosmetics, and woodworking.

Some nut oils have distinctive flavors prized in salad dressings and finishing dishes: a drizzle of walnut oil over the salad.

Allergies make nut oil a concern in food preparation.
