Was doing some reading on this. Seems it's a great source of omega 3 but not sure how it compares to fish oils or even in place of pb?

About 2/3 of the fat is ALA - so it's not a comparable compound to fish oils. More a comparison to things like flax, etc.

They were the 'it' think about 8 months ago but since then its been not so popular. (I think it was on Oprah) they have more fiber then the whole flax but lke Erik said its about like Flax but smaller in size like poppy seeds.
