Q: What are food sources of omega-3s?
--PJ, Vermont
A: While a Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) has not been determined for omega-3s, the American Heart Association suggests aiming for 1,500 to 3,000 milligrams (mg) per day of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids and 500 to 1,800 mg from fish.

Some Suggestions in Milligrams:
Soybeans (1 cup) = 3,000 Milligrams
Walnuts (1 oz.) = 2,570
Albacore tuna (5 oz.) = 2,131
Atlantic salmon (5 oz.) = 1,987
Canola oil (1 Tbsp.) = 1,568
Ground flaxseed (1 Tbsp.) = 1,300
White tuna, canned (3 oz.) = 730
Purslane, raw (1 cup) = 250
Omega-3-fortified egg (1 lg.) = 100-350

Q: Are optional ingredients included in your nutrition analyses?
--Donna
A: No, they’re not. Also, if there’s a range of an ingredient, we analyze
the first measurement listed. If an ingredient is “or to taste,” we analyze
only the measured quantity. When alternative ingredients are listed, the
analysis uses the first one.
