As you may see, the richest foods with vitamin E are seeds, nuts and plant oils. Sunflower seeds and hazel nuts contain the most of vitamin E. Greens, fruits and some veggies also contain this vitamin, together with fish, meats and dairy products. Besides meat and fish, the rest of the foods, rich with vitamin E, should preferably be consumed raw. This includes veggies (except for spinach), dairy products and seeds or nuts.

In this respect, raw nuts and seeds cereals with milk make excellent breakfast option. Raw seeds and nuts make great snacks. Unlike junk snacks, they supply you with energy and keep you healthy. Using fresh plant oil in your salad can provide you with enough vitamin E for the day.
