These squares are so tasty that you wouldn’t guess they’re super healthy and pumped up with seeds (like flax) that are rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids.
One square (from a batch of 16) has 3358mg of omega-6 and 1474mg of Omega-3, which gives them a ratio of 2.3:1. That means they will help tip the balance back to the more appropriate 4:1 ratio you should aim for.
So get making ’em!
