Which foods contain vitamin E?

Q: Which foods contain vitamin E?

Nuts, seeds and plant oils are the best sources. One tablespoon of wheat germ oil has 20.3 mg, more than the adult daily need of 15 mg. One ounce (about 28 g) of sunflower seeds has 7.4 mg, and the same amount of almonds 6.8 mg. One tablespoon of sunflower oil has 5.6 mg. Green leafy vegetables and fortified cereals also add some: half a cup of boiled spinach has 1.9 mg. Most vitamin E in US diets is gamma-tocopherol from soybean, canola and corn oil. The body keeps much less of this form than of alpha-tocopherol.
