Selenium Accumulating Leafy Vegetables Are a Potential Source of Functional Foods by Petro E. Mabeyo, Mkabwa L. K. Manoko, Amra Gruhonjic, Paul A. Fitzpatrick, Göran Landberg, Máté Erdélyi, Stephen S. Nyandoro

“…The mean concentrations in the leaves were found to range from 7.90±0.40 to 1.95±0.12 μg/g dry weight (DW), with C. maxima accumulating the most selenium. In stems, the accumulated selenium content ranged from 1.12±0.10 μg/g in Amaranthus sp. to 5.35±0.78 μg/g DW in C. maxima and was hence significantly different (P<0.01). …”
