Vitamins in food
The vitamins FoodFactly tracks, with the FDA Daily Value used for the percentages on food pages. Each page ranks the foods with the most per 100 g.
| Vitamin | Daily Value | About |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A | 900 µg | Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. Values here are retinol activity equivalents (RAE), which count retinol and provitamin A carotenoids such as beta-carotene. |
| Vitamin C | 90 mg | Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin. It is sensitive to heat and storage, so cooked foods usually contain less than raw ones. |
| Vitamin D | 20 µg | Vitamin D (D2 plus D3) is a fat-soluble vitamin found naturally in few foods; many dairy products and plant drinks are fortified with it. |
| Vitamin E | 15 mg | Vitamin E values here are alpha-tocopherol, the form the Daily Value is based on. Nuts, seeds and vegetable oils are typical sources. |
| Vitamin K | 120 µg | Vitamin K values here are phylloquinone (vitamin K1), the main form in plant foods, especially leafy greens. |
| Thiamin (B1) | 1.2 mg | Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a water-soluble B vitamin. Refined grains are often enriched with it. |
| Riboflavin (B2) | 1.3 mg | Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is a water-soluble B vitamin found in dairy, eggs, meat and enriched grains. |
| Niacin (B3) | 16 mg | Niacin (vitamin B3) is a water-soluble B vitamin. Meat, fish and enriched grains are common sources. |
| Pantothenic acid (B5) | 5 mg | Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is a water-soluble B vitamin present in small amounts in most foods. |
| Vitamin B6 | 1.7 mg | Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble B vitamin found in fish, poultry, potatoes and non-citrus fruits. |

| Vitamin B12 | 2.4 µg | Vitamin B12 occurs naturally in animal foods; plant foods contain it only when fortified. |
| Choline | 550 mg | Choline is an essential nutrient often grouped with the B vitamins. Eggs, meat and fish are rich sources. |
