What are Vitamins In Vegetables?
Vitamins in vegetables are complex chemical substances which are obtained almost always from food with the exception of vitamins D and K. The human body is unable to form vitamins itself so it relies on sourcing them elsewhere. One exception to this rule is Vitamin D which is obtained from sunlight (the sunshine vitamin). However, there are foods which contain D vitamins, mainly fish, meat and dairy products, however, there are also some vegetables with vitamin D (please see the facts and information about D vitamins in vegetables in the vitamins chart at the bottom of this page).

Fat-Soluble and Water-Soluble Vitamins in Vegetables
Vitamins are divided into two groups - either fat-soluble or water-soluble which is usually an indication of the types of food that these vitamins are sourced - either fatty or watery foods. There are 13 vitamins for humans of which 9 are water-soluble - vitamin C and eight B vitamins. Four vitamins are fat-soluble and they are vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K. Many of the vitamins in vegetables are water-soluble as vegetables are generally high in B and C vitamins. This means that these types of vitamins can dissolve in water so they are lost very quickly and easily during the cooking process and time lapsed between the vegetables being picked and being eaten.
