This tiny vitamin plays a big role in your and your little one's health: Let's talk about Vitamin B-12! ✨

B-12 is found naturally in animal products. Great sources of B-12 include meat, poultry, & fish; eggs & dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese); and foods fortified with B-12 (check labels on cereals, plant-based milks, and nutritional yeast)! 🐟🍳🧀

A special note for our vegan/vegetarian families: Since B-12 isn't found in plants, fortified foods or a supplement are often necessary. Talk to your WIC nutritionist—we're here to help! 🫂

You've got questions? We've got support! If you're concerned about your B-12 intake or have questions about your diet, your local WIC clinic is your go-to resource. Let's work together to keep your family thriving. Visit bit.ly/49vWMLN to get connected!

It’s corn! 🌽 A big lump with k***s, it has the juice! 🍿I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing! 🎶

Not only is corn tasty, it also helps support your gut and digestive health since corn contains both soluble and insoluble fiber! 🙌

Soluble fiber breaks down and forms a gel in your intestines and can help regulate blood sugar levels and cholesterol. Insoluble fiber does not break down which means the corn kernel outer shells pass through your digestive system and can act as a prebiotic which can support a healthy gut microbiome!

What are your favorite ways to eat corn in the fall?
