BE AWARE

IF balancing your omega threes and sixes is on the agenda for you....

Some olive oils (non virgin generally but check) fat content contain up to 50% omega six. The "best" olive oils have about 10% omega six, but olive oil has little omega three.

Canola contains significant omega six 22%, as well as three 10%.

So both keeping quantities of oils containing sixes low and or at least balancing with flax (16% omega six 53% omega three) or high three sources is important.

There are previous posts with links on the site which hopefuly can be found with the search engine above right that look at the issues, and provide links to sites that enable you to consider the fat make up of various oils etc.

Hidden fats are also a problem - prepreapred foods have to be checked with care as the use of vegetable oils is common including unexpected things like olives in oil (very often in sunflower !!!!!)


I hope this helps.

I don't know some of the ingredients but sounds delicious.
