Top vitamin B-12 foods for vegetarians Vegetarians have several options for sources of B-12. These include dairy products, eggs, and certain fortified foods. Vitamin B-12 can even be found in certain mushrooms and algae. The vitamin is absorbed into the body slowly. Consuming it throughout your day is the best way to make sure it breaks down properly. Dairy products One of the simplest ways to consume adequate vitamin B-12 when you are vegetarian is to eat�dairy products: Eight ounces of yogurt can provide 1.1 micrograms of B-12. One cup of low-fat milk yields 1.2 micrograms of B-12. One ounce of Swiss cheese provides .9 micrograms of B-12. These foods can be consumed at any time of day and are readily available. You could try having yogurt with your breakfast, milk as a midday drink or with your breakfast cereal, and a few slices of cheese for a snack. Eggs Another source of B-12 for vegetarians is eggs. One large, hard-boiled egg has�.6 micrograms�of vitamin B-12. You would need to eat several eggs each day to meet your total B-12 requirement. This may be difficult, but eggs can be one part of your daily B-12 intake. Try a hard-boiled egg in salads or scramble eggs for breakfast. Fortified cereals Foods fortified with vitamin B-12 can help you meet your daily intake requirement. One great fortified food is breakfast cereal. Cereals can range in the amount of vitamin B-12 added. Therefore, you should read the packaging to determine whether your favorite healthy breakfast cereal provides adequate vitamin B-12 per serving. For example, a 3/4 cup serving of�Kellogg?s Corn Flakes�contains 1.5 microgram of B-12. Grape Nuts have the same amount of vitamin B-12 in a 1/2 cup serving. Fortified foods are easy for your body to digest as they have high bioavailability. This means that they do not have to be broken down by your body before they can be absorbed. Rather, they are used right away. This will help your body get more vitamin B-12. Nutritional yeast Another fortified food that contains vitamin B-12 is nutritional yeast. This is a go-to food for many vegetarians and vegans. It provides a depth of flavor to cooking. Many use nutritional yeast to provide a cheese-like flavor to foods. One tablespoon of nutritional yeast provides�4 micrograms�of vitamin B-12. Sprinkle nutritional yeast on popcorn for a tasty snack or in a vegetarian- or vegan-friendly recipe.
