Healthy Fats in Flax Kernel

Flax kernel has a healthy fat profile. Flax kernel is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, it is one of the best  sources of omega-3 fatty acids in the North American diet.  Flax also contains a modest amount of omega-6 fatty acids and monounsaturated fat.

Omega-3 Fats

Slightly more than half of the fat in flax is the essential omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid or ALA, for short. ALA is essential in the diet of humans, meaning that it must be obtained from foods because the human body cannot produce it.
