Omega 3 Vegan Foods Tier List (BEST & WORST SOURCES)
In this video I rank plant based omega 3 sources in a tier list. I also go over the differences between the different types of Omega 3s and how much we need.

I really appreciate your channel 😊
Thank you so much 😀
A fiber video would be nice. Compare soluble and insoluble amounts in each food too so we can choose the best ones to combine together!
I’m here for this too!
I don’t think vegans need to worry about getting enough fiber though. A junk food vegan probably eats more fiber than the average meat Eater. Sometimes eating too much fiber can have adverse effects especially if you haven’t been vegan for a longer period of time
@@terrencemillanamen to that! The one macro I never have to worry about that all my omnivore friends and coworkers envy me over is fiber. We’re packed to the gills with the stuff! 😅
Yes!
Yes! It’ll be useful to talk about soluble and insoluble fiber. Many vegans have issues with getting too much fiber and not adapting to it, or they have way too much of one type of fiber over another. Folks have issues with bloating and gut motility’s etc. Soluble being water drawing and insoluble being bulk forming – it’s actually important to have a mix of both and in an amount that makes sense
Calcium ranking
Yes ! With the subject of waters which recent studies have shown to be perfectly absorbed, some of them containing half the rdi per liter
This!
I would love a calcium tier list!
And both per 100 gram and per 100 calories would be more useful..
If I do it it will be based on 100 cal servings.. it just makes most sense to me!
Absolutely LOVE this series I hope you will keep doing it. Can you please please do iron? Thank you for this video, it’s really helpful
I second this!
Yes, I have low iron and have to take a supplement three times a week.
Definitely iron 🙏
I second iron
Agree with iron – when you do, please do a section on women needs, which are vastly different.
Loved the echo sound effect to add drama when mentioning canola oil LOL 😆
Haha I couldn’t help it.
It was my favorite part about the video lol
Yes for making this a series, Derek! It’s both informative and enjoyable content 🙂
Great video… zinc would be a good shout for this format. Im off to grind my chia…
I second that 👍
That’s a good idea!
Hey man! Just wanted to say I love you and your videos. Every time I see one, it brings a smile to my face, because you seem like such a genuine and good person. Thank you for all of the recipes and information that you have shared. You help me stick to the vegan/whole food plant-based lifestyle. I’m appreciative of that. Keep up the good work, and God bless.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the love!
Thank you for going by calories and not grams! This aligns way more with how folks actually use food – It’s way more relevant to hear how much ALA is in an amount of food that you can actually consume.
(And did anyone else start singing “ch-ch-ch-CHIA!” When he mentioned chia pets?! 😂)
You’re welcome!
Thank you for another great video! I would love to see a B12 tier video and another on the different types of B vitamins!
Apart from duckweed you’re unlikely to get b12 from a plant.
S tier : supplements.
There, the tier list is done.
Been loving and appreciating these videos!
Vegan fast food tier list would be cool.
Oh man, we don’t have many options here so it would be hard to do that
@@Simnettnutrition True, I am in Montreal and vegan fast food can be hard to come by. I visited Germany last year and the vegan options were off the charts.
A tier list for iron and calcium and I would love a video on k2.
Agreed!! Calcium for certain. I started tracking my intake and was shocked how hard it is to get 1200 ( my RDI) via food if I don’t plan!!!
I wasn’t even 5 minutes into this when my partner asked me if he could start taking my omega supplement 🤣 Nice work, Derek! 👍
Love this style video! Didn’t realize flax seeds had the concern with cyanide. I do prefer chia over flax so was happy to see the rankings. Does soaking chia seeds help with digestion? Would love to see you rank fruits from a nutritional standpoint!
Wow! This was so informative! I had to back it up over and over again to hear you say so many things again! Im going to watch this several more times. Thx for your research.
wow. I had no idea kale has high omega 3. I love kale so glad to know it contains omega 3 too! 😍
Love this style of video Derek ❤ You have definitely been my rating of ‘s’ YouTube Vegan 🌱 I have followed you now for years and have always loved your content. Forever educational, insightful & entertaining- our love to Crystal too ❤❤
Perilla seeds powder contains even more AHA than chia and flax. In Korean cuisine, it’s used for thickening soup. #들깨가루
Thanks Derek, that was really well explained!
I’ve been battling here in Australia to have sunflower oil removed from soy milk and other plant based milks, it’s so high in Omega 6. I’ve suggested they use chia oil or canola oil or just leave out the oil altogether. One major company were producing a soy milk that ticked all the boxes (fortified with Vitamin D, calcium and Vitamin B12, 10g of protein per serve, no added oil, tasty and frothed fabulously in beverages!)…then they discontinued it 🙁
I will keep trying.
Thanks again, love your videos 🙂
