Sunshine on Your Plate: Foods Rich in Vitamin D

Fortified Dairy Products:

Many dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, are commonly fortified with vitamin D. These fortified dairy products can provide varying amounts of vitamin D, depending on the brand and type. For example, one cup (240 ml) of fortified milk may contain around 100 IU of vitamin D. When purchasing dairy products, check the labels to ensure they are fortified with vitamin D.

Fortified Plant-Based Milk Alternatives:

In recent years, there has been an increase in fortified plant-based milk alternatives, such as soy milk, almond milk, and oat milk. These non-dairy milk options are often fortified with vitamin D to provide a plant-based source of this essential nutrient. The amount of vitamin D can vary between brands, so be sure to choose fortified options and check the labels for the specific vitamin D content.
