Omega 3 and 6 oils are very important for our health and wellbeing. However, most people don't pay attention to the type of oil they use in their cooking and this often prevents them from getting necessary nutrients.

He became a pioneer in the healthy fats/oils movement and started Udo's Choice to provide better and healthier oil products to the market.
