It seems like not a day goes by without reading somewhere about the magical health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids. But what are Omega-3 fatty acids and why do they really matter?
Well, Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids found in fatty fish and flaxseed. A growing body of research suggests that Omega-3 fatty acids can help lower your risk for heart disease, boost the immune system and protect against arrhythmias. All of Daves Killer Breads have lots of Omega-3 fatty acids (in the form of alphalinolenic acid or ALA), especially Good Seed. When it comes to Omega-3 fatty acids, Good Seed does not disappoint, weighing in at 500 milligrams per slice (not to mention 5 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber). Now, according to the National Institutes of Health, your recommended daily intake of ALA is 2.22 grams per day. In other words, one delicious slice of Good Seed bread satisfies almost 25 percent of your recommended daily intake of ALA. Heavenly texture, saintly flavor AND magical health benefits? Now that is a Killer bread.
