Foods Rich In Choline
What foods are rich in choline? There are many. A healthy diet consisting of whole grains, meats, fish, and eggs will give the average person the amount of choline they need on a daily basis. It is recommended that adults have about 425-550mg a day of choline in their diet. Although it is rare to have a choline deficiency, you should always be sure that you are eating healthy so that you body receives all of the nutrients it needs.
Whole grains are a very good source of choline. Cereals like All Bran, Shredded Wheat, Cheerios and Raisin Bran are all foods rich in choline. Wheat germ is an excellent source of choline and adding this to any cereal, yogurt, ice cream or salad will ensure that you are getting enough choline in your diet. Overall, as far as a non-meat or dairy food goes, wheat germ is the best choice for adding choline to your diet. It contains 172mg of total choline per 1 cup of toasted wheat germ. If added daily to cereal, yogurt, shakes, ice cream and salads, you can be sure that you are getting the amount of choline you need.
If you really want to ensure that your choline intake is adequate, you need to consume meats, in particular liver and hearts. All livers: beef, turkey and chicken, are extremely high in choline. This is important to know. For those of us who enjoy liver, egg and onions, this is great news. Our parents always told us that liver is healthy. Here is the breakdown of how rich in choline these foods are. Braised beef livers contain 355mg of choline per 3 oz. of beef liver. Simmered turkey liver contains 120mg of choline per 3 oz. of turkey liver. Pan fried chicken livers contain 200 mg of choline per 3 oz. of chicken liver. As you can see, adding liver to your diet is a great way to ensure that there is enough choline in your diet.
Eggs also contain a good amount of choline. Adding a hard boiled egg to your salad is can to ensure a healthy amount of choline intake. A large egg contains 126 mg of choline.
Overall, it is easy to ensure that you are getting your daily requirement of this nutrient by consuming foods rich in choline. There is no reason to have a deficiency in choline if you are eating healthy foods.
