That is very detailed information, I never knew most of the above listed foods had folic acis, am glad to have read it, thank you again for sharing.

I really do love collard greens especially when my mom cooks that for dinner. Just talking about it makes me hungry. I just did not think too much about beans and peas containing folic acid.

Determined2014 , I'm glad that you can use this information to gain more folic acid in your system.

I love spinach with garlic and cheese crumbles. It's just delicious. Yes beans and peas also contain a decent amount of folic acid, so it's worth to eat them.

I do love to eat collard greens more than spinach. I never had spinach with cheese crumbles I might try that sometime. The only beans I eat are string beans and pork and beans which makes me go to the bathroom LOL.

Spinach itself is a little bland, but with cheese crumbles it is way more tasty. You should definitely try it!!

Feel free to post other food that contains folic acid.

I am new to the SB community, trying to find out as much as I can because friend's daughter has it. What is the benefit of folic acid on SB? Does it improve the symptoms in a significant way?
