Broccoli

There are plenty of reasons beyond vitamin A to prepare broccoli. For starters, it’s higher in protein than most other vegetables, Shapiro says. Plus, it’s also a good source of fiber, vitamins C and K, and iron. You’ll receive around 60 mcg of vitamin A from a mere ½ cup of the crunchy green veggie.

How to eat it: Enjoy broccoli boiled, roasted, or sautéed. Or add it to a stir-fry, omelet, or pasta dish.

Butter

Before you get too excited, this one should be enjoyed in moderation—but a smear on your morning toast is fair game for your vitamin A needs. Two pats of salted butter will get you about 70 mcg.

How to eat it: Cook with it, smear it on a bagel, or add some to your eggs.
