Nut Oils and Peanut Oil

There are many nut oils available and some of them taste awesome.

However, they are very rich in polyunsaturated fats, which make them a poor choice for cooking.

They can be used as parts of recipes, but do not fry or do any high heat cooking with them.

The same applies to peanut oil. Peanuts technically aren’t nuts (they’re legumes) but the composition of the oil is similar.

There is one exception, however, and that is macadamia nut oil, which is mostly monounsaturated (like olive oil). It is pricey, but I hear it tastes awesome.

If you want, you can use macadamia oil for low- or medium-heat cooking.
