,

Liver, meat, potatoes, bananas, and prunes are all fairly high in B6

per typical serving. See this list from the USDA:

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR21/nutrlist/sr21w415.pdf

Just ignore all the name-brand enriched factory foods

They also have lists for other nutrients:

Get the " W " version, sorted by nutrient content to see which foods are

highest.

The vegetable form, however, is not nearly as useful as the animal form.

, that's a good point and is true for so many nutrients.
