Light nutty aroma and the taste of cedar nut oil are a bright accent in any dish! This oil not only inspires culinary masterpieces, but also makes the meal more healthy:
- The oil promotes healthy digestion due to the content of unsaturated fatty acids, B vitamins, and vitamin A.
- The oil speeds up metabolic processes and supplies the body with energy due to the rich composition of amino acids, both essential and non-essential.
- The oil promotes weight loss because it contains rare pinolenic acid. This acid is involved in the synthesis of Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), due to which it accelerates the onset of satiety when eating, and reduces appetite.
