The Nutrition Top Ten



 

Here's a handy chart to fill you in on the richest food sources of vitamins C, A, and E, folic acid, calcium,

iron, and fiber. This chart simply lists the top ten foods for each item. Granted, no one sitting down for

a meal eats 3 1/2 ounces-nearly a quarter pound-of Parmesan cheese (highest in calcium) or parsley

(rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and iron). But as you consider the health benefits of each food on the lists,

keep this point in mind: Alittle goes a longway. The RDA (recommended dietary allowance) figure

shows you the minimum to aim for daily.
