About Folate Folate is found in high amounts in liver, wheat bran, beans, spinach, and asparagus.
Moderate sources are most grains, corn, beet and turnip greens, broccoli, and some nuts.
Good sources include lean meats, dairy products, and most fruits. Beginning in 1998, the U.S. government requires the fortification of baking flour and cold cereals with folic acid. This is one example where the man-made version is better than the naturally occurring type. With the new recommendations for folate intake, fortified foods or supplements will often be needed. Now when nutrition news gets confusing, there IS a place to go to get the real story.
