Linseed (or flaxseed) (''Linum usitatissimum'') and its oil are perhaps the most widely available [[botanical]] source of the omega−3 fatty acid ALA. [[Linseed oil|Flaxseed oil]] consists of approximately 55% ALA, which makes it six times richer than most fish oils in omega−3 fatty acids. A portion of this is converted by the body to EPA and DHA, though the actual converted percentage may differ between men and women.
