Yes, unless it is derived from a non-vegetarian source such as fish. Flaxseeds, Hempseeds, Rapeseeds and Walnuts are vegetarian & vegan sources of 3 Omega (though they usually need to be ground to release the oil). Most studies into Omega 3 have been performed using oil from Fish (since they are largely sponsored by the Fish industry) which causes some people to doubt the benefit of Omega 3 from other sources.

Omega 3 is a fatty acid, not a bacteria. It is believed to be useful for health to consume Omega 3 fatty acids, which are found in fish and certain other foods.
Omega 3 originates in leaves of plants (spring foods), Omega 6 originates in the seeds (fall foods) as animals including humans and fish eat these foods they get these essential fats in their bodies. Beef and chicken products used to be very high in omega 3 when raised and fed on the family farm where they mostly ate grasses, now that they are in feedlots eating so much corn and grain they are very high in omega 6 Small fish eat plankton to get there omega 3, bigger fish eat them to get their omega 3. so any fish you eat you can get omega 3 from. Omega 3 causes foods to spoil quickly so most packaged food the omega 3 has been removed to increase the shelf life. I take a supplement called K48 Plus it is 48 times more absorbable than any other omega 3 supplement and made from Antarctic krill.

Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber will help to lower your cholesterol naturally. You can get fiber and omega-3 in a number of supplements, but changing your eating habits to include them more will be most effective. Fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, and sardines contain high amounts of omega-3, as does kale, spinach, soy, and macadamia nuts. Whole grain bread and pasta contain fiber, along with apples, bananas, and many vegetables.
HDL or "good" cholesterol, can be raised by eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like oily fish. In addition, there are a number of omega-3 supplements available.
