Whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, fruit and veggies. My tracker says I reach about 1mg of folate per day. (This is 2.5 times the RDA).

Hi Andypandy30 - the mechanism for B12 absorption has some pecularities one of which is that the absorption from a meal in the ileum is very limited - to about 10mcg. I'm not aware of this sort of limitation applying to other vitamins so ensuring you have enough in your diet should be okay. You might need more than RDA if you have an absorption problem - very common for B12 and folate absorption problems to go together - but avoid really high doses of folate supplements as opposed to food.
