The selenium content of 60 samples of vegetable foods has been determined fluorimetrically. After wet destruction of organic matter, the complex 4,5-benzopiazselenole was formed by reaction between Se(IV) and 2,3-diaminonaphthalene and extracted with cyclohexane. The results suggest that the population of Galicia (NW Spain) consumes an average 11.20 ..mu..g of selenium/person per day in food of vegetable origin.
