Dietary sulfur is the same as the element on the periodic table. Most of the sulfur that we get in our diet comes attached to amino acids (mainly cysteine and methionine). When protein intakes are adequate, sulfur intakes are too. Therefore, no recommended daily intake of sulfur has been established. Nonetheless, sulfur can be found in vegan whole food sources, including: nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes, allium vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, and leafy green vegetables. For example: onions, chickpeas, couscous, oats, and walnuts.
