Comment on Veganuary
flamingos@feddit.uk 5 hours agoVitamin B12 is the main one that’s hard to get. It’s not really natural to any foods apart from animal products.
Iodine is also a tough one. Though you’re probably deficient in this anyway depending on how much sea food and dairy milk you eat. Technically iodine isn’t natural to milk, but we feed iodine supplements to dairy cattle.
You can get enough of both of these by drinking enough fortified plant milks, but it’s like half a litre a day and idk I find that’s just a lot.
I’m personally just lazy and take supplements, the Vegan Society here in the UK do ones that are affordable and have everything you need in them. If you live far enough north or south you should be taking vitamin D supplements anyway, at least during the winter.

Nutritional Yeast is a good savory seasoning that supplements b12
Iodized salt is a good source of iodine and doesn’t really taste different from the fancy salts when it’s dissolved in a sauce or stock, so use it as your cooking salt and you’ll be fine

Sure, but the supermarkets I go to don’t stock them. Besides, multivitamins are easier, cheaper and supplement other things (like the vitamin D).
