Decided to look it up a bit and there is so much conflicting info. One says fermented food like sauerkraut contains lots of B12. Another says it contains none at all.
I know it’s produced by some types of bacteria, but then could it also depend on production method? So if that is the case could it be in traditionally home made but not industrially produced sauerkraut?
Perhaps the baking process can change levels of B12 in the bread? Or maybe different kinds of yeast? It is a mushroom after all.
I haven’t really looked that much into myself, I have only ever heard (and read once on a vegan organization’s website) that if you are vegan, you are strongly advised to supplement your food with B12 because it is difficult, if not impossible, to eat the needed levels of B12 on a vegan diet.
I know it’s produced by some types of bacteria,
Is bacteria part of the animal kingdom? I know mushroom to be a bit of both animal and plant. Reading about kingdoms now it looks like my knowledge on the subject is a bit dated.
Yeast contains B12, that is pretty natural.
TIL

Is a mushroom both or neither?
But yeah, not sure what the best natural options would be if there are any.
