Vegan whole food sources rich in manganese include: nuts (almonds, pecans), beans and legumes (lima beans, pinto beans), grains (oatmeal, bran cereals, whole wheat bread, brown rice), leafy green vegetables (spinach), fruits (pineapple, acai), and dark chocolate. Iron, phosphorus, and calcium inhibit your absorption of manganese.
Vegans typically get plenty of manganese.
