Vitamin E: what is it good for?
There is a good chance that vitamin E is not high on your priority list, but this vitamin is still indispensable. “Vitamin E strengthens the immune system and helps your cells communicate with each other, but it’s best known as a powerful antioxidant,” says Kim Yawitz, registered dietitian. But what exactly does vitamin E contain? We answer that question below.
Which foods contain vitamin E?
1. Black beans
You get 3 milligrams of vitamin E per cup of black beans. Beans are also high in protein and fiber, making them a very satiating choice,” says dietitian Amy Gorin.
2. Wheat germ oil
This oil tastes like nuts and is definitely worth adding to your shopping list. “One tablespoon of wheat germ oil provides a whopping 20 milligrams of vitamin E, which is more than adult men need in a day,” says Yawitz. This oil is delicious in a salad dressing or over your pasta, and ideal if you don’t eat a lot of nuts or seeds.
3. Sunflower seeds
“100 grams of sunflower seeds contain 7 milligrams of vitamin E,” says Yawitz. ‘In addition, these seeds also contain satiating proteins, fiber and healthy fats.’ Win win situation!

Toasted almonds contain about 7 milligrams of vitamin E per 30 grams of almonds. Almonds are delicious with yogurt or cottage cheese.
5. Peanut butter
Good news for all peanut butter fanatics: peanut butter contains three milligrams of vitamin E per two tablespoons in addition to proteins and healthy fats. An extra thick layer on your sandwich can therefore do no harm.
