Foods high in thiamin (vitamin B1)

Thiamin (vitamin B1) helps the body release energy from food and supports normal nervous system function. Foods leading this list include dried oxtail soup, baked vegetable kiev, frozen turkey steaks in crumbs served grilled, vegeburger mix and vegetable pâté. Wheatgerm and some wheat-based and rice-based baby cereals also feature in the list.

Foods are ranked by their thiamin content per 100g, so typical portion sizes matter when comparing how much they provide. The form listed also matters: dried products are not directly comparable with foods prepared with water. Salt, saturated fat and energy content are worth considering alongside thiamin. Full figures are in the tables below.
