Foods high in Selenium

Selenium survives cooking and storage well, but refining removes it. Whole grains retain more selenium than white flour; unpolished rice outranks polished. Fortification can restore what milling takes away, so check the label on refined products to see if selenium was added back.

Selenium concentrates in animal products and Brazil nuts, with seafood and poultry leading most rankings. Soil content varies by region, so the selenium in plant foods depends partly on where they grew. The ranking shows what is there per 100 g, not how much your body actually absorbs from each food.

FDA daily value: 55 mcg
