8. Walnuts
You don’t need to eat a lot of walnuts to get a decent amount of fatty acids. Which is good news, since eating walnuts alone can be difficult due to its bitterness. ¼ cup of dry walnuts contains about 2,660 mg of fatty acids, or 66% of the recommended daily intake. Half a cup gives you your entire daily requirement! This is quite possibly the easiest way to get fatty acids in your body. If you can’t stand the bitterness, simply mix it with raisins.
9. Vegetable Oils
Vegetable oils such as canola oil, flaxseed oil, and mustard oil are mainly a source of one particular type of omega-3, called alpha-linoleic acid or ALA. While not as effective as the marine-based docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids (DHA and EPA), oils are often used in cooking and vegetable oils are much healthier compared to other cooking oils, so the benefits add up.
