Thiamin Sources
Good natural sources of thiamin include brewer's yeast, organ meats, wheatgerm, oatmeal, whole grains, pork, fish, poultry, nuts, dried beans and peas, avocado, vegetables such as spinach and cauliflower, and thiamin-enriched flours and cereals.
Thiamin is found in the germ and bran of wheat and in the outer covering of rice grains, so refining grains removes much of the thiamin. The vitamin is easily destroyed by cooking heat and is lost in the water used to cook food. It is also destroyed when food becomes alkaline, thus adding bicarbonate of soda to thiamin-rich foods causes losses.
Sulfite food additives also destroy thiamin.
