Individuals who do not have exposure to sunlight are at risk for vitamin D deficiency if they do not ingest adequate amounts of foods that contain vitamin D. However, most dietary sources of vitamin D do not contain sufficient amounts of vitamin D to satisfy daily requirements.

Vegetables are not a good source of vitamin D.
