What are sources of choline?

Answer 1

Much of the choline Americans consume comes from lecithin (phosphytidylcholine). Lecithin is most often added to foods as an emulsifier (a substance that helps keeps food components blended together). Most of the lecithin in the U.S. food supply comes from soybeans. Food sources of choline include soybeans and soybean products, potatoes, collards, brewer's yeast, chard, cauliflower, peas, corn, spinach, asparagus, peanuts and peanut butter, crimini mushrooms, grapefruit, oats, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans, miso, and tomatoes. Many of these foods contain not only choline itself, but also other forms of the vitamin including lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) and sphingomyelin.
