What is an omega-9 fatty acid?
Omega-9 fatty acids are a family of fatty acids found in various plant sources. Canola, sunflower, olive, and nut oils, have significant levels of omega-9 fatty acids, which also are known as high-oleic acids, or monounsaturated fats. Omega-9 Canola and Sunflower Oils are uniquely high (>70%) in omega-9 fatty acids. These oils have emerged as healthier options to replace commonly used partially hydrogenated oils, which often contain high levels of unhealthy trans and saturated fats.
