Omega 3 Rich Food #3: Walnuts
Walnuts provide 9.1 grams of omega 3 per 100 grams. Like flaxseed oil, walnut oil is another good source of omega 3 with 1.4 grams per tablespoon. English walnuts are higher in ALA than black walnuts, but all the varieties are packed with nutrients.
To make the most of your walnuts, keep the skin on. The skin may be bitter, but it is the healthiest part. Approximately 90% of antioxidants associated with walnuts are found in the skin. Unless you are allergic to tree nuts, adding walnuts to your diet will provide you with key phenolic acids, tannins and flavonoids.
