Plants could have an increasingly important nutritional role to play as we consume fewer and fewer animal-sourced B vitamins. Scientists from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and Imperial College London found more than 1,000 edible plants that could be potential sources of vitamin B, addressing deficiencies in millions of people.
Various forms of vitamin B are essential because we can’t make them ourselves and they help release energy from food and maintain a healthy nervous system.
While they’re essential to our wellbeing, they are commonly deficient in both developed and developing countries.
