June is Fruit and Vegetable Month | List of Vitamins and Good Fruit and Vegetable Sources

June is fruit and vegetable month HOLLA! It's also the month of National Donut Day, Martini Day (on my birthday), and National Candy month, lol.
I'm going to highlight the fruits & veggies and here is a list of Vitamins with selected fruits and or vegetables only that are great sources of them.
Vitamin A /Beta-Carotene | 5000 IUs
Carrots, 1/2 cup: 13,418 IUs
Spinach, frozen, boiled: 11,458 IUs
Kale, frozen, boiled: 9,558 IUs
Carrots, 1 raw (7 1/2 inches): 8666 IUs

Biotin/B7 | 30 micrograms
Avocado: 2-6 micrograms
Raspberries, 1 cup: 0.2- 2 micrograms
Clearly fruits and vegetables are not an ideal source of Biotin. Poultry, eggs, meat, and fish are.

Okay! There is a list of essential vitamins and fruits and vegetables that contain those vitamins.
Of course, these fruits and vegetables will have more than only these vitamins. Likewise, there are more than just fruits and vegetables that provide these vitamins. Many whole grains are better sources of B vitamins and animal proteins pack a nutritional punch as well.
Maybe another post for another time :).
Hopefully this jump starts some menu planning for you or inspires a recipe even?
