I would think so, but I've *never* found walnut flour/meal (or for that
matter, walnut butter) anywhere. I pretty regularly wonder why it's not
marketed as much as almond and pecan flour. I'm pretty sure almond flour
has an even worse profile. Think I remember one of Cordain's charts showing
no discernible trace amount of Omega 3 in almonds.
I eat walnuts just about every day of my life. Making butter wouldn't be a
problem, but nut flours, as I understand it, are tricky to make and can only
be done in very small amounts at a time. I'd rather buy it and save the
time and effort.
