   without getting too deep into the chemistry of it, Omega refers to the number and position of double bonds on the carbon chain of a free fatty acid. The long type you are hearing about is the length of the carbon chain (the number of carbon atoms linked together). So there are lots of sources of omega 3 triglycerides and depending on the source they are all different.

   It’s a bit complicated to get into in this small a space but all omega 3′s are better for you than saturated fat or trans fat but all omega 3s are different. Incidentally they also impart different properties and shelf life to the food.

   Well you can always eat salmon! I use flaxseed oil with my protein shake. Almonds are also high in omega 3

   Something else to keep in mind about getting Omega 3 fatty acids is they are degraded by heat, so cooking kills them as do hot processes of extraction.
