Whether or not this is correct, walnuts and cold pressed walnut oil contain small quantities of saturated fat, virtually no trans fats and no cholesterol.

Wellwood walnut flour is produced when making walnut oil. The walnuts are cold pressed using a screw-press. This separates most of the oil from the walnut. What remains is ground to make the walnut flour. A tasty product high in dietary fibre.
