Foods that contain vitamin B1 include: dark green leafy vegetables, legumes, peas, milk, egg, wheat germ, whole grains, yeast, cereals, nuts, bananas and apples.

A diet lacking in vitamin B1 has been known to cause serious disorders such as mental depression, chronic constipation, diabetes, weight loss, nervous exhaustion, and weakened heart.
