Vegetarian foods high in Manganese (USDA SR Legacy)

Grains and legumes top this ranking because manganese accumulates in plant seeds as they develop. Whole grains retain it in the bran and germ; refined grains lose most of it during milling. Tea leaves also concentrate manganese, which is why a cup can contain a meaningful share of the 2.3 mg Daily Value.

Manganese works in your bones, blood clotting, and the chemical reactions that turn food into energy. Most people get enough from ordinary meals, so a ranking by concentration tells you where it lives in food rather than where you should focus your diet. Absorption varies widely between individuals and drops when you also consume iron or calcium from the same meal.

FDA daily value: 2.3 mg
