Foods Rich in Sulfur
For those of us with impaired sulfoxidation, knowing what's high in sulfur is critical.
- Garlic, onions, and all of the allium family
- Grains
- methionine: corn, sunflower seeds, oats, chocolate, cashews, walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds (in that order).
- cysteine: oats, corn (corn grits are higher than chicken, see Sulfur in Human Nutrition and Applications in Medicine, by Stephen Parcell, ND. Published by Thorne Research. [PDF].)
- MSM: corn
- Legumes, including carob and jicama (alfalfa: MSM)
- Red meats
- eggs
- of chicken
- [of duck maybe less so?]
- Nuts & seeds
- Broccoli and all cole-family (brassica) vegetables. This includes cabbages, pak choi, mustard, and watercress.
- Asparagus
- Coconut
- Avocado (high in glutathione, which breaks down during digestion, yielding cysteine)
- Watermelon (also high in glutathione)
- Swiss Chard
- Parsley
- Sweet potatoes and "yams" (American yams, Genus Ipomoea, not Dioscorea, which the rest of the world calls "yams") - a sulfur compound in this tuber chelates heavy metals. [Need documentation on this.]
- Bananas
- Tomatoes (MSM)
- Tea & coffee: MSM
- Dairy products (Cows' milk: MSM. other milks?)
- Whey proteins (high in cysteine & methionine)
- Amino acids: cysteine, methionine
- Thiamin / Thiamine / Vitamin B1 / aneurine
- Biotin, Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H
