Nuts are one of the best sources. I believe shrimp is also pretty high.

The Canadian ministry of health says sources of vitamin E include:

vegetable oils, flax, wheat germ, nuts, seeds, avocado

I once read (forgot where) that carrots are a good source provided they are not washed too aggressively - the vitamin E is in the skin and can easily be removed.

Peanuts and sesame seeds.
