which vegetables contains iodine?

Question

this is for thyroid patient.

Answer 1

I know only few vegetables that are rich in Iodine. However, sea foods are too rich in Iodine. According to the WHO the daily recommended allowance of Iodine for an adult is 150 micro gram per day.
Baked peeled potato - 1 medium size--60 micrograms.
Cooked beans - half cup --- 32 micrograms.

If you go for a non-veg
Boiled egg --- 1 large ---- 12 micrograms
Cow`s milk ---- 1 cup ----- 56 micrograms
Tuna canned in oil --half can---17 micrograms.

Above all ,seaweeds are the richest source of Iodine. And your daily intake of iodised salt should meet your daily requirement. 1gm of iodised salt gives you 77microgram.

Too much of Iodine is harmful to your health. So, you should be monitoring your levels of thyroid function regularly.
Hope, this helps

Answer 2

Iodine is only needed in minute quantities, about a teaspoonful over our whole life!

Be careful with supplements, as these can be counterproductive if too much iodine is taken, especially where a thyroid condition has developed.

"The recommended treatment is iodine supplementation in the diet using iodised salt (the bottles with the green labels) or food rich in iodine. Seafoods, including seaweeds, are high in iodine and are a good source of extra iodine. But care should be exercised because iodine supplementation can be taken too far."

"The daily requirement for iodine is very small at some 150 mcg (microgram or millionths of a gram). This means that a person needs about 1 teaspoon full over their whole life. Whilst the normal thyroid gland is tolerant of substantial excess iodine, a diseased or susceptible thyroid is not. Excess iodine can trigger thyroid disease and can make existing conditions worse. A person with a multinodular goitre or Graves’ disease in remission may be precipitated into hyperthyroidism whereas a person with impaired thyroid function may have worsening to hypothyroidism, or goitre growth from excess iodine exposure. A regular intake of the correct amount of iodine is recommended. Some supplements like kelp tablets can contain milligram amounts of iodine and deliver 100's of times the daily requirement so check what you use."

Answer 3

while not exactly a traditional vegetable - kelp and kelp tablets are known sources of iodine supplementation. Other food sources include the various seaweeds often eaten in many oriental soups and food dishes.

Too much iodine is very harmful so be very careful because high intake of iodine actually inhibits proper thyroid function. Unless you have the ability to have frequent blood testing of thyroid function done you need to leave any iodine supplementation up to the advice and direction of your physician. You may not get the results you expect by increasing iodine intake.

Answer 4

Seafood - dietitians recommend two to three meals of seafood per week to get the beneficial fish oils. This will also provide you with a good source of natural iodine.
Supplements - many multivitamin capsules and tablets supply 100-150mcg of iodine.
Some vegetables also contain iodine, but only if they are grown in iodine-rich soils. Many regions of Australia, particularly Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, have low levels of iodine in the soil.

Answer 5

Vegetables contain more iodine than fruits. In general, iodine content in vegetables and fruits depends on the soil.
