These days, a strong percentage of people have heard about the benefits of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids found in sources like cold-water fish, among others. Even awareness of omega-6s—another polyunsaturated fatty acid found in sources like flax and hemp oils, and nuts—has begun to spread. But what about omega-9s?
Omega-9 is high in monounsaturated fats and low in saturated fats. Omega-9 oils, like high oleic canola and soybean oils, are important parts of a healthy diet.
