What foods are good sources of chromium?

Whole grain breads and cereals and brewer's (nutritional) yeast are the beast dietary sources of chromium.

One ounce of brewer's yeast provides 168mcg. of chromium.

Cooking foods in stainless steel cookware can increase chromium levels in the cooked foods, because the chromium in the pot leaches into the food.

Refined grains (such as white bread, pasta, and white rice) are low in chromium, since this mineral is removed during the refinement process.

A diet high in sugar and processed carbohydrates might deplete body stores of chromium.

The natural form of supplemental chromium, called chromium-rich yeast, appears to be better absorbed and used by the body than the inorganic forms of chromium, such as chromic chloride, found in some supplements.
