Why are Omega 3s so good for us and what are some plant based options? ⁠

Plant Based Omega 3s

There are some misconceptions about eating a plant based diet, or shifting to a more plant rich diet, that we miss out on protein, essential nutrients and minerals like iron and Omega 3s commonly associated with meat and fish consumption. However, there are very dense sources of plant based protein, iron, and Omega 3s. Below we review some excellent plant sources for Omega 3s and some of our favourite recipes featuring those plant powered ingredients. 

 

Great news for those that don't eat fish or watched a recent documentary and are now compelled to cut down on their seafood consumption: there are many plant based sources of Omega 3s to enjoy! ⁠

Not only are these abundant sources of Omega Fats, they are commonly free from the toxins found in seafood. ⁠

Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids: ⁠
  • Support heart health⁠
  • Support brain & mental health
