Eggs have vitamin D. I put them in healthy spinach salads with avocados and other vegetables.

I made a salad with several hard boiled eggs because eggs are a great source of Vitamin D. To make sure the Vitamin D was bio-available and absorbed my salad dressing was home made with an olive oil base. Vitamins A D E and K must be eaen with fat because these are falt soluble vitamins. My salad also installing included fresh raddichio, tomatoes and diced garlic with lemon juice and a bit of cayenne for extra zippy taste. Today I went outoors in the bright sunshine for an hour. Vitamins can be absorbed into the skin from exposure to sunlight. So being in the SUN and SALAD with lots of hard boiled EGGS was my Vitamin D boost

Since I'm a vegan and don't eat eggs or dairy, there are not many plants that contain vitamin D, so I take a D3 supplement. I researched Vit D to learn about options for vegans. Now I'll be making sure to buy foods fortified with Vit D - soymilk, oj, cereal.

Reading that some mushrooms, such as shiitake (those are dried mushrooms in the jar), contain vit D, as well as tofu that's fortified with D, tonight I experimented: for the first time I made "egg" rolls stuffed with sauteed shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, kale, and tofu, with a dipping sauce....a little bit of soy, chili sauce, and a lot of ginger. I was very excited to recently find vegan wrappers and now I know how easy it is to make them! I need some practice wrapping... they're not very neat but they were delicious!
