Boost Your Folic Acid (Folate) with These 15 Foods
Your body can’t store much folate, so you need it every day.
8. Beets
These sweet, earthy veggies contain a good amount of folate, with one average beet providing one-quarter of your dietary requirement. Beets come in yellow and red varieties -- yellow beets have a higher amount of beta-carotene, while red beets have higher amounts of vitamin C. Both types of beets have B vitamins, iron, manganese, copper, magnesium, and potassium. Enjoy beets pickled, as a sandwich accompaniment, or roasted in the oven for a healthy and filling side dish.
