Omega-3 in Plant-based Diet
For optimal health, you should have 500mg of omega-3 fat a day. But this applies to omega-3 from fish. What about plant sources?
Plant Omega-3 Is Different
Called ALA, the omega-3 in nuts and seeds is a bit different: it’s a shorter molecule that your body converts into a longer, usable one.
You Need More
But, this conversion is not so efficient. So, you need more ALA omega-3 to reach your daily target of this healthy fat. How much more?
