Green leafy!: Green leafy vegetables are great sources of folic acid. Beans and other sources are shown here: http://www.Veganhealth.Org/b12/folate there are no reliable vegetarian sources of b12--it is made by bacteria and supplements are the most reliable way. If you have trouble with absorption, your doctor can provide a B12 shot.
