When shopping, look for a note on the label mentioning vitamin D content. If you're having trouble finding mushrooms exposed to UV light, you may have better luck at your local health food store or farmers market — which often carry wild mushrooms.

Free-range or organic eggs tend to have more vitamin D.
The label may also indicate that the eggs are enriched with this nutrient. Egg yolks can provide significant amounts of vitamin D, especially if the eggs are sourced from chicken given enriched feed or allowed to roam outdoors.

Some kinds can also be fortified with vitamin D, and this will be indicated on the label or ingredient list. Cheese is a natural source of vitamin D, albeit in very small amounts. Cheddar, Fontina, and Monterey boast a little more. Although some foods naturally contain small amounts of vitamin D, a variety of products are fortified with this nutrient.
