Omega 3 in Nuts: Which Varieties Provide ALA

Omega 3 in Nuts: Which Varieties Provide ALA

In plant foods, omega 3 usually refers to alpha linolenic acid. Nut varieties differ considerably, so a general claim should not be applied to every mix or product.

Look at the specific variety

Walnuts are known as a plant source of alpha linolenic acid. Other nuts and seeds have different fatty acid profiles. A mix can only be assessed from its actual composition.

Understand nutrition information

A standard nutrition table does not list every individual fatty acid. A claim about omega 3 content requires suitable analytical data or a reliable data source.

Avoid promises about individual effects

One food cannot guarantee a health effect. Amount, frequency, overall intake and personal circumstances all matter.

The Nefisso range

Nefisso does not currently offer a walnut variety. Ingredients and nutrition information are shown transparently on every product page.

Sources and context

This general guidance is based on information from the German Nutrition Society on dietary fat and its guidance on nuts. It does not claim specific effects for Nefisso products.

Note: The information printed on the relevant Nefisso pack is always binding.
