15 Foods High in Folic Acid

Citrus Fruits

In addition to being full of flavor and tasty, citrus fruits like limes, lemons, grapefruit, and oranges are high in folic acid. A large orange provides around 50 mcg of this nutrient, which can meet nearly 15 percent of the recommended daily intake. What’s more, these fruits are packed with powerful vitamin C, an important antioxidant that would help with disease prevention and improve your immune system. Many studies have shown that high consumption of citrus fruits might be related to a reduced risk of pancreatic, stomach, and breast cancer. [13]
