2. Lentils

Lentils are the cousins of chickpeas and peanuts. The many types are a great base for a myriad of flavor profiles. Half a cup of green lentils, which have a nutty taste that makes them great in salads, has 10 percent of the daily requirements (RDI) of folate, along with about 9 percent of dietary fiber. Split red lentils are great for thickening stews and have 15 percent of the RDI of folic acid.
