ABSTRACT:
A method of producing edibleBrassicaplants capable of accumulating significant concentrations of selenium in edible portions of the plant. EdibleBrassicaplants were grown in an environment containing selenium, the plants were cultivated under conditions that allow enhanced uptake of the metal into edible portions of the plants, wherein the concentration of selenium accumulated in the edible portions of the plant is higher than the concentration of selenium in the environment. The plants are then harvested for further use.
