Your body can’t store much folate, so you need it every day.
It might seem odd to see a pasta listed as one of the top dietary sources of folic acid, but in fact, folic acid can be found in relatively high amounts in enriched grain-based foods. Enriched spaghetti contains folic acid - the synthetic form of folate. A one-cup serving of enriched pasta contains about one third of your recommended daily allowance. Toss with some crispy chicken livers or spinach to deliciously boost your folate intake even higher.
