Cedar nut oil inspires culinary experiments. It has a pleasant nutty taste and mild aroma that will enrich any dish. Numerous vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids that make up the oil will make any dish even more useful. Since the oil loses its positive properties when heated, the best way to use it is as a dressing for both cold and hot dishes. You can use the oil in its pure form or prepare unusual sauces that will bring out the unique taste of cedar oil even better.
