Selenium Rich Recipes, Selenium Vegetarian Foods List

Selenium Rich Recipes, Selenium Vegetarian Foods List. Selenium is a trace mineral which regulates thyroid, fights inflammation and many other functions. Ensure that you follow our Selenium Rich Recipes to get your selenium requirements.

Barley being the richest source of selenium is a healthy option to include in your diets. Try the barley khichdi with lots of mixed vegetables. A variant is barley and moong dal khichdi recipe. The super thing is that none of these recipes have any rice added to it and hence no simple carbs added. My favourite is barley soup which soothes your sore throat or cures a bug in you.
