The current number-one food clocks in at 149mg per serving, 996% of the daily reference value in a single portion. That kind of concentration is rare and tells you which foods act as genuine Vitamin E drivers rather than marginal contributors.

Breakfast Cereals leads with 5 qualifying foods at an average of 29.2mg per serving, followed by Fats and Oils (55 foods, avg 24.9mg).
