Veggies/fruits contain D2 not D3 which comes from animal products.
Vitamin D3 is derived from animal sources. Sunlight is the primary source (food is not the primary source) by converting 7-dehydrocholesterol (in the skin) to vitamin D3. Fortified foods are the major dietary sources of vitamin D. Good food sources of vitamin D include milk, fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel, cod liver oil, fish liver oil, some breads and cereals and egg yolks. Most vitamin D supplements available without a prescription contain cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).
