Vitamin D Recipes

Now that Summer has been and gone in the UK, it’s time to start thinking about Vitamin D! In the Autumn / Winter months, we cannot get enough vitamin D from sunlight¹. It’s therefore recommended that we take a supplement of 10 micrograms (µg) each day from October to March¹. Although insufficient to rely upon for our main source, we can also get vitamin D from some foods such as; egg yolks, oily fish, red meat, liver and fortified foods (e.g. cereals, yoghurts)¹,². Here we have a list of some of our tastiest vitamin D-containing recipes. Enjoy!
