Any recommendations for a good source of omega 3 fatty acids for a plant based diet?
I think you'd probably need more than in an animal based diet since plant based fats and oils have way more omega 6 then animal based fats which can fuck up the balance.
my regular-ass cold-pressed rapeseed oil that i use for regular-ass frying has both omega 3 and omega 6
There's loads, my best recommendations are algea oil or sea weed, soya, nuts, seeds take your pick.
The opposite is true, o3/6 exist in balance. If you don’t eat any omega3 your body gets a lot better at converting o6. Vegans get better omega readings than people who eat fish 2-3x a week.
Ground flax in cooking and you’re sorted
Is it a flour consistency? Or more gritty? I've been trying to cut out meat/dairy and if it's easy enough to cook with casually, why not include it.
You can get it ground as fine as flower yeah. Also acts as a thickener if you have a sauce that is too watery. Flax is a super food, go look at all the benefits it provides. Everyone should be using it. Nutritional yeast too but just because it’s delicious. 👌
Freshly ground flax seeds are supposed to be good for that, but I'm way too lazy to do that haha
Instead, you can just get Omega 3 pills, seems like the least hassle 🤷
Get the algae omega pills
