But, on to the amount of B6 in some of the foods I mentioned above: 1 banana = 34% DV (daily value) of B6 1 cup red bell pepper = 11.5% DV of B6 1 cup boiled spinach = 22% DV of B6 4 oz yellowfin tuna = 59% DV of B6 Resource: WHFoods http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=108#foodsources Hi Curtis,
