4. Dried Fruits and Nuts
Dried fruits make for a great, low-calorie sweet snack, while nuts contain good amounts of fats, oils, and protein. Together, they make trail mix! Aside from being packed with energy to fuel your several-hour-long hike, it also contains all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that come with the respective fruits or nuts used as ingredients. On average, a pack of dried fruits and nuts can contain up to 0.041 µg of cobalt, almost as much as shellfish. So always keep a bag of trail mix with you for a delicious, healthy snack!
5. Cheese
Cheese, the dairy product that has the ability to make almost anything delicious, contains a lot of calcium, fatty acids, vitamins, and is a decent source of dietary cobalt. A 200-calorie serving of cheese (which is far, far from enough cheese) contains about 0.018 µg of cobalt. So don’t scrimp on the cheese next time you make pizza or when you garnish your pasta with it. And if anybody tries to tell you that you’re putting too much cheese, just tell them you’re aiming to get your RDA of cobalt!
