Recipes to Get More Vitamin D

August 27, 2019

4027929.jpg

Very few foods are naturally rich in vitamin D, which promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and then helps deposit them in bones and teeth to make them strong and healthy. Vitamin D is most often found in fortified foods, like milk, soymilk and fortified cereals. Naturally occurring vitamin D is found in fatty fish, such as mackerel, salmon, and sardines, and in egg yolks. These healthy recipes are a delicious way to get more of this nutrient into your daily diet.

Simmer eggs in a rich tomatoey cream sauce studded with chickpeas and silky spinach for a super-fast vegetarian dinner. Serve with a piece of crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Be sure to use heavy cream; a lower-fat option might curdle when mixed with acidic tomatoes.
