We are considering availability all over the country around the year and affordability as well
We need only 1.2 milligrams of vitamic B1 or Thiamine daily as vitamin B1 is stored
in our body for short period of time. Typically 14 days B1 is stored in our Liver.
Lentils(Mosur/Mung Dal)
Various types of lentils or Dal is a good source of Thiamine or B1.
In absence of whole grain rice or wheat, we have no choice but to
eat Dal or Lentils everyday. 1 cup of cooked lentils contains almost
0.25 milligrams of vitamin B1 or Thiamine, which is almost 25% of
our Daily Required Intake
Eggplant/Potatoes/Tomatoes
Many vegetables like Eggplant, Potatoes and Tomatoes have some amount of
vitamin B1. If we eat these vegetables everyday as single or as mixed
vegetables, we will be able to take at least 0.10 milligrams of this
vitamin. Bottom line is, if we cook vegetables as tasty meal and eat
enough, we will not be deficient on Thiamine or vitamin B1.
Meat/Liver
Although pricey and non-affordable for many people to eat meat everyday,
we should try to eat meat now and then. Once in a week, eating meat will
give us considerable amount of vitamin B1.
