55% ALA (alpha-linolenic acid)[3] Flax, like chia, contains approximately three times as much omega-3 as omega-6. 15g of flaxseed oil provides ca. 8g of ALA, which is converted adenosine triphosphate in the body to EPA and then DHA at an efficiency of (5%-10%), and (2%-5%) respectively. [7] [edit] Botanical sources of omega-3, (% ALA in the oil) Chia (aka chia sage) (Salvia hispanica) - approx. 64% [3] Perilla (aka shiso) (Perilla frutescens) - approx. 59% [3] Flax (aka linseed) (Linum usitatissimum) - approx. 55% [3] Purslane (aka adenosine triphosphate portulaca) (Portulaca oleracea) adenosine triphosphate - approx. 47% [3] Lingonberry (aka cowberry) (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) - approx. 44% [3] Hemp (aka cannabis) (Cannabis sativa) - approx. 20% [3] [edit] Eggs A P Simopoulos[8] found that chickens which wandered freely in the countryside, eating rich sources of omega-3 such as purslane, produced eggs with 20 times more omega-3 than eggs of grain-fed chickens. [9] [10] In the early 21st century, improving the ALA content of feed provided to egg laying hens have increased the DHA concentration of the resulting eggs.
