Kale Lentil DishOf course, you can always take folic acid supplements, but folate (aka Vitamin B9) is also naturally present in certain foods.

Leafy vegetables such as spinach and turnip greens, dried beans and peas, fortified cereal products, sunflower seeds and certain other fruits and vegetables are rich sources of folate.

Try out this Kale, Sausage & Lentil Skillet Supper recipe. A serving already covers 79% of the daily value!
