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.
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.
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. 👌

There’s loads, my best recommendations are algea oil or sea weed, soya, nuts, seeds take your pick.
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

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.
