Boost Your Folic Acid (Folate) with These 15 Foods
Your body can’t store much folate, so you need it every day.
3. Brussels Sprouts
These leafy green vegetables are related to the cabbage and can be sweet and crunchy when prepared properly. Remember that folate is fat-soluble, so adding butter or bacon to your Brussels sprouts can help you absorb more of this vitamin. Brussels sprouts have 20 percent of your daily folate allowance per half-cup serving. If you have a mandolin slicer, you can slice your sprouts thinly, and toss them raw into a salad with other leafy greens for a superfood powerhouse blend.
