Also known as vitamin B1, thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin that is crucial in cellular function and energy usage from food. It helps convert carbohydrates into energy for metabolism and strength. Deficiency occurs when you consume more alcohol and fewer animal products. Chronic fatigue, gut issues, and muscle wasting are just a few signs that you are deficient in vitamin B1. To address this, here are some of the foods high in thiamine you should eat.
1. Sunflower Seeds
Consuming 100 grams of sunflower seeds provide you with 99% of the recommended daily value of thiamine. In 1 cup, you get 0.68 mg or 45% DV. Other thiamine-rich seeds are flax (31% per 1 ounce), sesame seeds (22% per ounce), chia seeds (16% per ounce) and pumpkin seeds (5% per ounce).
