Walnuts are known for being a nutritious nut, but few know that they are significantly higher in omega-3 fats than any other tree nuts. According to nutritionist Hanna Watson, walnuts are a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, which is converted in the body to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). For those who are not allergic to walnuts and are following a strict plant-based or vegan diet, it's highly recommended that you consume walnuts and other sources of plant-based omega-3s such as flaxseeds and chia seeds in your daily diet.
