- Did you know all varieties of mushrooms contain some vitamin D? The types with the most vitamin D include portobello, white button and cremini.  One cup contains 380 IU of vitamin D.

- Two egg yolks contain 80 IU of vitamin D, making this one good reason to actually eat the yolk. Egg yolks also contain lutein, choline and vitamins A and E. 

- Fatty fish, such as mackerel, sardines and salmon, contain 400-800 IU of vitamin D in one 4-ounce piece of fish.
