Which foods have the most vitamin D?

Answer 1

it is easier to obtain vitamin d from the sun, make sure you go outside for 20 minutes a day!!

Answer 2

Best food sources are salmon (pink) and tuna, followed by liver, eggs and milk. Plus you can buy Vit D fortified milk, margarines and other food items. You need about 2oz/ 50g of salmon or 3oz/85g of tuna to get your recommended daily dose, but if you're getting sunlight daily you won't need this much.

It's a good idea to get about 10-15 minutes of direct sun exposure a day without sunscreen so your body can make its own (depending where you are - nearer the equator you need less, nearer the poles you need more). Even just on your hands is enough usually.

Finally, there's a heap of Vit D in cod liver oil - 1tsp gives you all the daily Vit D requirement. Eeugggh! You can get it as capsules, though.

Carrots - I think you're thinking of Vit A...

Answer 3

Actually most of vitamin D comes from the sun unless you are living at the North Pole.

Answer 4

In food

Season, geographic latitude, time of day, cloud cover, smog, and sunscreen affect UV ray exposure and vitamin D synthesis in the skin, and it is important for individuals with limited sun exposure to include good sources of vitamin D in their diet.

In some countries, foods such as milk, yogurt, margarine, oil spreads, breakfast cereal, pastries, and bread are fortified with vitamin D2 and/or vitamin D3, to minimize the risk of vitamin D deficiency.[12] In the United States and Canada, for example, fortified milk typically provides 100 IU per glass, or one quarter of the estimated adequate intake for adults over the age of 50.[1]
Fatty fish, such as salmon, are natural sources of vitamin D.
Fatty fish, such as salmon, are natural sources of vitamin D.

Fortified foods represent the major dietary sources of vitamin D, as very few foods naturally contain significant amounts of vitamin D.

Natural sources of vitamin D include:[1]

* Fish liver oils, such as cod liver oil, 1 Tbs. (15 mL) provides 1,360 IU
* Fish, such as:
o Catfish, 3 oz provides 425 IU
o Salmon, cooked, 3.5 oz provides 360 IU
o Mackerel, cooked, 3.5 oz, 345 IU
o Sardines, canned in oil, drained, 1.75 oz, 250 IU
o Tuna, canned in oil, 3 oz, 200 IU
o Eel, cooked, 3.5 oz, 200 IU
* One whole egg, 20 IU
* Shiitake mushrooms, one of a few natural sources of vegan vitamin D (in the form of ergosterol vitamin D2).
