What are good natural sources of B-12 vitamin?

I have a slightly elevated cholesterol level.
I have made the switch from Vegetarian to Vegan and plan to spend the time to get all nutritional needs met.
I have heard that walnuts have vitamin B-12.
Any other natural foods or nutritional supplements that you know of for B-12?
Thank you in advance for all thoughtful answers to come!

Congrats on becoming a vegan! No walnuts do not contain b12 neither does most nutritional yeast. Walnuts do contain omega 3 though!

Some good sources of B-12 are fortified cereals, fortified soy/rice milks, meat substitutes/soy analogs, some brands of fortified brewer’s & nutritional yeast (such as Red Star & Twinlab). Sea vegetables like seaweed, dried nori, & spirulina, may contain vitamin B12, but their content varies and may be unreliable, lactic acid fermented products such as like tempeh, msio, beer & sauerkraut, but their content as well varies and may be unreliable. Marmite, So Delicious Dairy Free Yogurt, Manging Star foods, and other vegan store bought foods also contains B12 (Cyanocobalamin).
