Match the Nutrient With the Food Source

May 28, 2009

I'd much rather obtain my daily vitamins and minerals from the food I eat rather than popping supplements, but it's tough to know which foods offer the best sources of each nutrient. So take this little quiz if you're curious about how to fulfill your recommended daily intake of some essential vitamins and minerals.

Where does a veggie get B12 from??????

3/5. Question 1 & 5 are those ones I failed. I was almost positive no. 5's answer would be the soy milk... oh well. I like sesame seeds however I have soy milk daily; the RDI's were close and I attain the make-up dosage in my other meals. Love almonds and red peppers though I do not eat beef/pork so my B12 is attained through a supplement.

I'd perfer NOT to get vitamins and minerals from such things as grains that are going to wreak havoc on my blood sugar levels. I'll stick to meat and vegetables, TYVM.

^^ You can make a sesame-honey candy. Depending on the size/texture, you could get 1/4 cup of sesame easily. They even have sesame health bars. I think Fit did an article on it not too long ago I can't imagine eating a 1/4 cup plain though. Eww.

Exactly my thought, amybdk. Drinking a glass of soymilk is pretty normal, but it would take me at least a week to get through that many sesame seeds. Still, I thought this was a good quiz.
