It is also excellent for stir-frying, as it can withstand high heat and impart a subtle nutty flavor to vegetables and proteins. When making salad dressings, a small amount can add a rich depth. It can also be used for roasting, adding a pleasant aroma and helping ingredients brown evenly. Consider its flavor profile when incorporating it into your recipes.
