Question: are flax seeds omega 3?
Answer: FLAXSEED AS A SOURCE OF ω-3 FATTY ACID Flaxseed is one of the richest plant sources of the ω-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3 ω-3) (15), but it is found in other foods as well (Table 1). The typical North American diet provides approximately 1.4 g of ALA per day, and 0.1 g to 0.2 g of EPA and DHA (16).
