Which of the following is a common source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids?

Almonds
Chia seeds
Sunflower seeds
Walnuts

The correct answer is: Almonds

Chia seeds are recognized as a common source of Omega-3 fatty acids due to their high alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) content. ALA is one of the three main types of omega-3 fatty acids that are beneficial for heart health and overall wellness. These tiny seeds are known for their ability to absorb liquid and form a gel-like substance, making them a popular addition to smoothies, puddings, and baked goods. While walnuts also contain omega-3 fatty acids, particularly in the form of ALA, they are not the only option that offers this benefit. Almonds and sunflower seeds primarily provide different types of beneficial fats, including monounsaturated and omega-6 fatty acids, but are not significant sources of omega-3s.
