Which of the following is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids ?
Sardines
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids whose first double bond lies at the third carbon from the methyl end; the nutritionally most valuable forms are the long-chain EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
EPA and DHA are made by marine algae and accumulate in oily fish, so fatty fish such as sardines, mackerel, salmon and tuna are the richest dietary sources; sardines supply over 1 g of EPA plus DHA per 100 g.
Corn oil is rich in the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid and contains almost no omega-3, so it raises the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio rather than improving it.
Wheat products are low in total fat, and pork fat is mainly saturated and monounsaturated fat with some omega-6, so neither is a meaningful source of omega-3.
So among the foods listed, the oily marine fish sardines is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Hence, Sardines.
