spEEdfrEEk Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 CATEGORY: foods/tables TECHNICAL: * SUMMARY: This document gives a table of common foods which contain the healthy omega-3 fatty acids. As you can see, a large number of these sources are nuts, seeds, and seafoods. In general, flax seed oil taken daily is the best way to go. But, if you can, it's a pretty good idea to supplement with other omega-3 sources. I personally am a big fan of pumpkin seeds, and walnuts. I also usually consume salmon, tuna or trout 2-3 times a week. ------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 25 Apr 1997 14:09:17 -0700 Subject: Re: LOWCARB omega oils Both this list & the last I posted are from _Beyond Pritikin_ by Ann Louise Gittleman.

Here's a list I have: Flaxseed 57% Chia Seed 30% Hemp Seed 30% Pumpkin Seed 15% Canola Oil 10% Soybean Oil 8% Walnut Oil 5% 3.5 oz of fish mg of Omega-3 Anchovy 747 Salmon, chinook 633 Herring 606 Mackerel 585 Tuna, albacore 337 Halibut, Pacific 194 Cod, Atlantic 93 Trout, rainbow 84 Haddock 72 Swordfish 30 Red Snapper 19 Sole 10 She also says the highest concentrations of O-3 is in north Atlantic sardine oil (at 18%, compared with 9% for salmon). :cool: TJ :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spEEdfrEEk Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 What do you know about the eggs that are supposed to be high in Omega 3 (Usually from chickens that are fed flax) I've heard about them, but never tried them. I'll see if I can find some locally and report my findings :grin: :cool: TJ :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
