Nutrition Hotline: Choline Needs
Choline is a nutrient that our brains and nervous system need to function properly. The liver makes a small amount of choline, but most of our needs are met by food. In the United States, for nonvegans, animal products are the main sources of choline. That’s not to say that these are the only choline sources; it’s simply that these are foods that are most commonly eaten. Plant-based foods that are rich in choline include cruciferous vegetables (such as cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli), wheat germ, and dried beans and lentils. Nuts, seeds, other vegetables, and whole grains are also good sources of choline.
