There are so many types of oils on our grocers' shelves it can be confusing as to what is the best one to use everyday. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (that fatty acid that supposedly makes fish so healthy) is found in some oils and totally missing in some. To me it only makes sense to use an oil that has omega-3s since they have been proven excellent for our health time and time again. To help you sort through the confusion, here are the facts about omega-3 fatty acids in the most common oils; peanut, safflower regular, sesame, and sunflower regular have 0. Flaxseed oil has the highest concentration of omega-3 fatty acids by a large margin. It is, however, harder to find and is not carried in a lot of grocery stores but is available in health food stores. Of the common oils on the grocery store shelves, canola oil has the most fatty acids. It also has the least amount of saturated fats.
