If you know of such a list, would you mind sharing its source/ link?🤔
If not, do you have any ideas of where I might find 🔎 such a list? 🤔
(I’m stumped. 🤷♂️ 🤦♀️ )
.
.
Per usual, I’ve:
. . . • ‘Google Scholar’ searched "ratio of ‘Omega 3’ and ‘Omega 6’ for common plant foods": scholar.google.com/scholar?...
[Which comes up with scholarly 🎓 works 📜 , which is a struggle to comprehend 😳 🤯 🥴 for us ‘untrained layman’. No simple/ comprehensive list seen 📝 👀 .]
. . . . . . And, found interesting info, but didn’t find a List of Quantities & Ratios of Omega 3 to Omega 6 in Common WFPB/ Vegan Foods. 😳 ]
.
.
If you’re ‘search 🔎 savvy’ & know how to go about finding such a list 📝 , I’d greatly appreciate 🙏 any help you can provide.
Any pointers 👉 💡 , much appreciated. 😌
Thank you. 🙏 😌

[Oh, this is what I’d recently learned as an interesting ‘aside’ from an interview with Dr. Brooke Goldner ( plantsuperpowers.com/dr-bro... ) of "Goodbye Lupus" & what spurred the aforementioned query. BG mentioned that instead of taking (vegan) Algae DHA/ Omega-3 supplements (which are all(?) in (Omega-6 laden) vegetable oil ☹️ ), we can by-pass those pricey Omega-6, oil-based supplements whose Omega-3 Algae ‘benefits’ are possibly outweighed?/ negated? by being in Omega 6 oil, such as sunflower oil 🌻💧. Instead we can ingest (far less pricey) freshly ground flax seeds. Doh! 🤦♀️ [May be inconvenience/ nuisance to grind (& ingest) flax seeds daily, yet for by-passing Omega-6 oil (& significant cost 💰 savings) it may be well worth the inconvenience of ‘the daily grind’. 😬 👍👍 ] This is what raised further investigation into other (non-animal) foods containing high Omega 3 (in relation to Omega 6) in common WFPB (non-animal, non-oil, ‘vegan’) foods.]

Apologies that the numerous emoji’s make it difficult to read.

Here’s the text, sans emojis:

A spectacular tool/ lists — yet I’ve no clue as to how accurate/ reputable the data is.
Any clues?

thanks! Im not against emojis per se but you sure used a lot!! it reminded me of those coded messages you had to work out as a child ( maybe you're too young to know them ) where words were replaced by symbols ( just the one !)
Ha ha ha . . . No worries, alchemilla12! [Nope, old as dirt . . . just a ‘visual’ person who revels in the silliness of emojis. So expressive, fun, & joyful . . . ] I do appreciate though that they’re not everyone’s cup of tea solo or in sequence . . .

That's a lot of information there! I know what you mean about wondering how reliable different sources are etc, it is difficult to know sometimes - but I will keep a look out and if I see anything that I think might interest you, then I will forward it your way. Also, I will have more time to take a look at some of your links on the weekend, so will no doubt be learning more by doing so!
Your post has already got me thinking that I should 'grind' my daily flax seeds - as I tend to put them on my breakfast without grinding them, and I know that to get the benefits more, I should use my pestle and grind them - so thanks for the reminder! I'll try to do that tomorrow, if I remember.
Ditto . . . with the flaxseed grinding . . . 😳 😯 🤔
Think we’re continually striving to do what’s "good, better, best" . . . but it’s tricky 🤹♀️ trying keep up with "what’s best" 🥇 as it feels as if the ‘goal post’ 🥅 keeps moving . . . 😂 🤣 🤪
Oh well . . . We do the best we can with what we know ‘in the moment’. 🤔 💭
Sometimes ‘good enough’ IS ‘good enough’. 😬

Thank you for taking time to read & respond, Zest. 🙏
Very thoughtful of you. 😌 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

[Oh, don’t know if these gadgets would work as well at grinding (as a mortar & pestle): coffee bean grinder, food processor, blender . . . ? 🤔 (Save a bit of stress on hands/ fingers/ wrists? 🤔 ) Oh . . . I saw a woman (in a video) chew a spoon full of raw flaxseeds — grinding them in her mouth with her teeth! 😬 . . . I guess we each develop our own ‘techniques’ . . . 😁 😁 ]
"Purslane also contains oxalic acid that makes it non-recommended 🚫 in large quantities for people who have ⚠️ uric acid or kidney problems or must restrict dietary oxalate levels." ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Por... , healthline.com/nutrition/pu... )
.
❓Can’t find it in my local shop/ grocery/ supermarket 🏪 , so where do we find it?
[Not heard of purslane until I stumbled upon it in ‘Omega-3 fatty acids in wild plants, nuts and seeds’ (Artemis P Simopoulos MD): apjcn.nhri.org.tw/server/AP... . Didn’t find any HU (HealthUnlocked) posts when searching 🔎 for "purslane".]
Google searched 🔎 "Purslane videos" ( google.com/search?as_q=Purs... ), but haven’t viewed any yet. Am curious 🤔 about your 1st-hand experience if you’d like to share? 😌
[Aside: If Jeff Nelson (VegSource: m.youtube.com/user/headveg/... ) is correct, sad/ disappointed 😔 😞 in Dr. Michael Greger 👨⚕️ (NutritionFacts.org: nutritionfacts.org/?s=DHA ) & Dr. Joel Fuhrman 👨⚕️ ( drfuhrman.com/search?search... ), but shan’t "throw the baby 👶 out with the bath water 🛁 ‘’. But, must be vigilant 🧐 — think more critically 🤔 — when ingesting information 📚 from even from my ‘trusted sources’ to include JN himself. Oy vey! 🤷♂️ 🤦♀️ . . . It’s never simple is it!? 😳 🙃 😯 ]
Per usual, lots of interesting thoughts 💭 💭 💭 under the ‘Comments section’ (of the video) as well — 700+ comments to date. ☺️ 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞
