Pls let me know The vegetables and grains that have Vitamin B12. Is it true that B12 is available only in meat.

Question

This vitamin is probably one of the greatest nutritional concerns for vegetarians and vegans, because vitamin B12 is generally found only in animal foods. While vegetarians can obtain vitamin B12 from dairy foods and eggs, vegans do not consume these foods, thus it can be virtually non-existent in their diets. Many foods are supplemented with vitamin B12, such as some nutritional yeasts, breakfast cereals, and meat alternatives, but it is important that regular, consistent supplies of vitamin B12 be included in the diet. Inadequate intake may result in vitamin B12 deﬁciency, which can lead to megaloblastic anemia and even diﬃculty walking, memory loss and disorientation. Almond milk, soya milk, coconut milk, cereal and millet flakes like ragi, bajra, barley, oats fortified with vitamin B12, all milk and milk products like cheese, paneer, curds, shrikhand, yoghurts, sprouted nutty shakes are also good sources.
