When we see Omega Fatty Acids listed in food nutrition data, we're looking at types of fats our body needs, which is might not be able to create organically. Omega Fatty Acids can play an important role in our overall health.
There are two main Omega Fatty Acids which cannot be made in the human body, and therefore must be consumed from our diet. Linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, are known as "essential fatty acids".
