15 healthy foods rich in vitamin B

This is an automatically translated article.

There are eight types of B vitamins, each with distinct functions, the most basic of which is energy production and the creation of important molecules in cells. You can get vitamin B through food every day. Apart from B12, the body cannot store these B vitamins for long, so you must get them regularly through food.

Foods are rich in B vitamins when they contain at least 20% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI). Here are some healthy foods rich in B vitamins.
