Introduction: Walnut oil is oil extracted from English walnuts (also known as Persian walnuts). Each 100.0g of oil provides about 63.3g polyunsaturated fatty acids, 22.8g monounsaturated fats, and 9.1g saturated fats. It contains no cholesterol. It is about 22.2% monounsaturated oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid, 52.9% linoleic acid, an essential polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid, and 10.4% alpha linolenic acid, which supplies the body with needed omega-3 fatty acids, another form of polyunsaturated fatty acid essential to human nutrition. Walnut oils is a good source of omega - 3 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids. So the body needs to get them from diet. Walnut oil has a nutty flavor and a light aroma. Walnut oil makes a nice base oil ( carrier oil ) for massage and aromatherapy uses. It is used as a cosmetic ingredient in many skin care products. This oil has immense nutritional value and is safe to be taken in diet. Add 1/3 walnut oil to 2/3 beeswax. Use this combination to polish your wooden products, like wooden handles, furniture, cutting boards. It lends a nice glossy finish to the wood. Walnut oil is preferred by many artists as a natural "non toxic" and "no harmful fumes" oil painting medium. It is a nice solvent for paints. Secondly, it is a good paint thinner. It dissolves away the paint from the brush completely, so that there is absolutely no trace of the previous colors on that brush. Walnut oil substitute for this application is linseed oil, which is a relatively cheaper oil. Walnut oil can be applied directly to hair to make it smooth and glossy. However, one can get greater health benefits by taking walnut oil in diet. Walnut oil is also very high in omega - 6 fatty acids ( linoleic acid ). Omega - 6 acts as a factor in hair growth[3]. A deficiency of omega-6 may lead to stunted hair growth.
