Chromium

Chromium is not an essential nutrient. It is used in trace amounts by the body, but even complete deficiency in it causes no health issues, so it is not essential.

Despite not being essential, chromium in your diet is still beneficial. Vegan whole food sources of chromium include: Grape juice, whole wheat bread, orange juice, tomato juice, apples, and green beans.
