Folic acid an important “B”

An important B-vitamin for pregnant women is important to everyone. Part of what makes green, leafy vegetables so good for us is that they’re packed with vitamin B-9, also known as folic acid. Folic acid gets its name from the same word as “foliage.” You can find it in all kinds of leafy foods, from spinach to turnip greens. It’s also common in beans, peas and lentils. However, even a diet full of those foods is unlikely to provide the recommended daily allowance for most people.
