Highest Folate Foods

Foods ranked by folate per 100 g from USDA FoodData Central.

Folate is required for DNA synthesis and cell division, which is why adequate intake matters most during periods of rapid growth. It is emphasised before and during early pregnancy, where sufficient folate is associated with a lower risk of neural tube defects. One caveat worth knowing: high folic acid intake can mask the blood signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency while nerve damage continues, so persistent symptoms are worth investigating rather than supplementing around. Values are Dietary Folate Equivalents (DFE), the measure the Daily Value is based on.
