>I use supplements for B12 which is missing from vegetable foods.
Just in case you're looking for an inexpensive vegan whole food source, seaweed sheets (like those used in sushi) have a relatively high amount of B12. I took a look at the brand in my pantry and it has 60% RDA per sheet.
- aroopchandra 2y agoThats a good idea. I will for sure add it to my snacks as I actually like seaweed
- throwaway2037 2y agoWiki disagrees about B12 in nori: > A 2014 study reported that dried purple laver ("nori") contains vitamin B12 in sufficient quantities to meet the RDA requirement (Vitamin B12 content: 77.6 μg /100 g dry weight).[19] By contrast, however, a 2017 review concluded that vitamin B12 may be destroyed during metabolism or is converted into inactive B12 analogs during drying and storage.[20] The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics stated in 2016 that nori is not an adequate source of vitamin B12 for humans.[21] Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nori#Nutrition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nori#Nutrition
- bumby 2y agoThanks, I was only going off the nutrition label, it shows 60% RDA per sheet. However, the reference link for the academy is broken; I wonder if they’ve changed their stance? Other references indicate raw nori has B12 but the drying process may turn it to an inactive form.
- jhugo 2y agoThey probably got the numbers for the nutrition label from the earlier study and nobody got around to checking yet.
