Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal-based foods, which can make it challenging for vegetarians, especially vegans, to get enough of this essential nutrient. However, there are vegetarian sources of vitamin B12 that can help meet your dietary needs:
1. Dairy Products: If you’re a lacto-vegetarian (consume dairy but avoid meat and eggs), dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese can be sources of vitamin B12.
2. Eggs: Ovo-vegetarians (consume eggs but avoid meat) can get vitamin B12 from eggs.
3. Fortified Foods: Many plant-based foods are fortified with vitamin B12. Look for fortified breakfast cereals, plant-based milk alternatives (like almond milk or soy milk), and meat substitutes. Check the labels to ensure they contain vitamin B12.

Fermented foods like Idli, dosa, dhokla, kanji, kimchi etc are good in B 12. Include these in diet.
