Fish, fish, fish, and more fish, also flax and eggs grass fed animals...

Omega 3 is found in the fatty deposits in fish. Fish have the largest known concentration of Omega 3. Several British studies have shown that Omega 3 helps memory so I take supplements, since I value my brain (at least it has helped me with Yahoo Answers).

Answer 3

Flax seeds, hemp seeds have lots.
Walnuts, pumpkin sees (pepitas), have a little.
It's super heat and light sensitive, so I'd be wary of buying anything that is cooked or broken up for your omega 3, unless is refrigerated in a black bottle, etc. like flax oil is sold.

Olive oil has none, that guy is wrong.

How can I get more omega 3 fatty acids in my daily meals?

You can rely on the World's Healthiest Foods to get you "over the top" on your daily omega 3 fatty acid consumption! While that may seem like a bold claim since the average American adult gets less than 1 gram of omega 3 fatty acids per day, many of the World's Healthiest Foods are great sources when it comes to providing substantial amounts of this important nutrient. Walnuts, flaxseeds, beans, fish, olive oil and winter squash constitute part of the the cornucopia of foods that will provide you with concentrated sources of omega 3 fats.

Recommendations for omega 3 consumption

To date, the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences has not yet issued any Dietary Reference Intakes for omega 3 fats. Recently, however, the National Institutes of Health recommended that people consume at least 2% of their total daily calories as omega 3 fats. To meet this recommendation, a person consuming 2000 calories per day would have to eat at least 2 grams of omega 3 fats. Many nutrition experts believe that this recommendation is not high enough, and would suggest, instead, that people consume at least 4% of their total calories (approximately 4 grams) as omega 3 fats.

Food sources of omega 3 fats - flaxseeds and walnuts

At the top of our list for increasing omega 3s would be flaxseeds and walnuts. One-quarter cup of flaxseeds contains about 7 grams of omega 3 fatty acids while one-quarter cup of walnuts contains about 2.3 grams. In either case, the amount is pretty substantial. Therefore by combining one-quarter cup of walnuts with a tablespoon of flaxseeds you will add close to the recommended 4 grams of omega 3 fats to your diet.

Food sources of omega 3 fats - beans

Flax seeds and walnuts are not your only choices, of course! One cup's worth of soybeans, navy beans, or kidney beans provides between 200 and 1,000 milligrams of omega 3s (0.2 to 1.0 grams). A four-ounce serving of tofu will provide about 0.4 grams of omega 3s. Therefore, these foods provide between 10% and 50% of the National Institutes of Health recommendation, and a substantial step up from the average U.S. adult intake.

Food sources of omega 3 fats - fish, winter squash and olive oil

Three other types of foods are important to mention as omega 3 boosters: fish, winter squash, and olive oil. In the case of fish, you'll get about 2 grams from every 4 ounce serving of chinook salmon; 0.6 grams from the same serving of halibut; and 0.4 grams from tuna. A cup of this winter squash will provide you approximately 0.3 grams. For extra virgin olive oil, the amount of omega 3s per ounce is about 0.2 grams (a word about using extra virgin olive oil - don't fry with it as you'll damage the omega 3s).
