Australian Vacuum-Packed Walnuts and Walnut Oil

Research indicates that the most potent dietary culprits for raising levels of cholesterol in the blood are the saturated fats in foods, not the cholesterol. 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. A recent independent analysis of our walnuts and walnut oil is shown below:

Australian Walnut Flour and Walnut Meal

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. Walnut meal is made by grinding walnuts finely and has the same dietary properties as walnuts.
