Folate: Introduction,Source and Health

Eggs, beans, and bread are sources of folate
The word “folate” describes a family of nutrients found in foods, especially green leafy vegetables, beans, and eggs. These are naturally occurring and water-soluble forms of vitamin B9. 

Normally, people use the word “folate” as if it describes a single nutrient. “Folates” might just make you sound funny because this plural form is less common.

Foods high in folate include kale, broccoli, citrus fruits, asparagus, bananas, beans, and liver. 
Folate: Introduction,Source and Health
Beans and liver provide far more natural folate than the other foods in the above list.

If a person has high folate needs or is deficient after consuming a lot of it, it is very likely that food is not the best way for them to get folate. There are diseases and genetic factors that can prevent people from metabolizing folate in foods. 


So we should pay more attention to the intake of folate and the type and method of folate intake.
