Foods containing vitamin A are diverse and mainly include the following categories:
1. Animal livers: such as pork liver, chicken liver, and goose liver. Animal livers are rich in vitamin A and are easily absorbed by the body.
2. Dairy products and eggs: including cow's milk, goat's milk, cheese, chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs. The yolks of eggs, in particular, are relatively rich in vitamin A.
3. Vegetables: carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, cabbage, and pumpkin are all good sources of vitamin A, especially carrots, which have a high vitamin A content.
4. Fruits: certain fruits such as cantaloupe, papaya, cherries, and watermelon also contain moderate amounts of vitamin A.
It is important to consume these foods in moderation to avoid excessive intake.
