Are almonds a source of omega 3's?

[view]

I read in flex magazine that almonds are a source of omega-3s.

I thought I read somewhere on here that they don't have omega 3's, just 6's and 9's.

I looked at calorieking and they don't have the data for omega 3's.

Anyone know where it is/what the deal is here?

all nuts are a good source of w3s

... though not as good as fish/flax seed oil

Hmmm, thanks anthrax. Still looking for a closer breakdown though.

The closer to the start the better they are for you, i.e. Almonds VGood, Brazils Good and so on.

I don't get what you mean by closer to the start.

What do they mean by trace. Very small amount of omega 3?

correct, as is small enough you shouldn't consider it a sufficient source of omega-3s.
