Boost Your Folic Acid (Folate) with These 15 Foods
Your body can’t store much folate, so you need it every day.
2. Liver
Beef liver is an excellent source of folate. This lean protein is also one of the best dietary sources of iron. You may choose to eat beef liver in a stir-fry with other folate-rich vegetables. If you are pregnant or nursing, this combination can help you reach your recommended daily values without supplements. One 3-ounce serving of beef liver contains about 55 percent of your daily folate needs. If you don't enjoy the strong flavor of beef liver, the smaller chicken liver, ounce per ounce, rivals beef in both folate and iron. Many people enjoy fried chicken livers on a salad or with a spicy sauce.
