Vegetarian foods high in Vitamin A (USDA SR Legacy)

Orange and red vegetables fill the top of this ranking because they contain beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A. Animal liver tops it all; a single serving can exceed your 5000 IU Daily Value. The colour is your clue: carotenoids give these foods their warm hues and your body its raw material.

Vitamin A lets your eyes detect light, keeps your immune cells functioning, and helps your skin renew itself. You will notice animal sources cluster high because they store retinol, the active form. Plant sources offer carotenoids instead, which your body must transform; so the conversion rate matters as much as the amount in the table.

FDA daily value: 5000 IU
