I think it also depends on the soil the plants are grown in! Possibly organic is best?

for a really important thyroid food - we are not doing too well in this area 

i cant believe that our iodine sources have got so low because of farming or leaching back into the ocean

there is more to this story - WHAT IS DEPLETING OUR IODINE - is it chemicals, radiation ???

I do think it's soil depletion on our farmed food, plus our exposure to chemicals and radiation, plus our SAD habits.

This is an interesting talk on iodine by a passionate M.D. who is highly motivated in the research of iodine.  http://www.bbc5.tv/video/iodine-misunderstood-nutrient 

Also from http://remineralize.org/ on using rockdust to remineralize the soil we grow our foods in:

Nutrient Dense Foods have very high levels of vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, and trace minerals. As a result they have the greatest impact on improving health and providing nutrition against disease. Major minerals are abundantly supplied as are trace elements such as selenium, chromium, iodine, and cobalt.
