Which NUTS Top the Charts with Healthy FATS?
"Pine nuts have 9.4 grams of omega-6s per ounce. And they only bring in 0.05 grams of omega-3s. That is a dismal ratio."
Nutrition expert reveals pine nuts have one of the worst omega-6 to omega-3 ratios among common nuts, with 9.4 grams of inflammation-triggering omega-6 fatty acids versus only 0.05 grams of anti-inflammatory omega-3s per ounce. He warns this extreme imbalance negates any antioxidant benefits and recommends using pine nuts only sparingly with omega-3-rich seafood dishes.
