10 Foods High in Vitamin B1 That are Surprisingly Good

4. Green Peas

Meat products are usually high in vitamin B1. However, if you are a vegetarian, you can still get it from foods like green peas. The amount might be quite low at 0.28 mg per 100 grams of just 19%, but it is good enough. You just have to eat more to reach the amount you need each day. Just make sure you choose fresh green peas and not those that have already been canned.

5. Seeds

Seeds are also great sources of Vitamin B1 and most of them have really high concentration of the vitamin. Sunflower seeds for instance have 1.48 mg or equivalent to 99% of your daily needs. Sesame seeds have 1.21 mg or 80% of your needs. Others like chia seeds and pumpkin seeds have lower vitamin B content at just 16% and 5% of your daily needs, respectively.
