Fourteen years ago, there were my own money troubles, so that I was needing to get food where there was help for that, this made a difficulty in going vegan when I might have otherwise. Going vegan itself right after that difficulty was not hard, I can give tips for that.

      So from that list —

      • soybeans: one cup gives 39% of the recommended amount.
      • wheat germ: it’s expensive and 12 tablespoons for 28% seems like a lot of wheat germ.
      • shiitake: I love them but it’s too high a price around here.
      • the rest are small amounts from a variety of stuff some of which I’m already eating but will never add up to the recommended amount unless I totally redesign my whole diet around just this one nutrient.

      I was hoping for an answer other than eating two cups of soybeans every day. I’m not even sure whether or not it’s possible to get them at a reasonable price in this part of the world, but I guess I’ll have to find out.

        This is probably why 90% of usians dont get enough, as stated in the article. It’s like this for Vit D around here too. No one gets enough vit D.

        If youre really concerned about this one specific vitamin or mineral, Id ask your doctor, if you can, about it. Id guess its not something to be too worried about, but Id ask your doctor about it.
