Selenium is considered one of the essential elements in animals and humans. The main source of selenium intake for humans is the diet. Selenium deficiency has one of the most concerning issues worldwide. Broccoli sprouts are five-to-six-day old broccoli plants, and they may exhibit stronger chemoprotective effects. Thus, the enrichment of selenium in broccoli sprouts can enhance anticancer properties. As a result of conducted study, four batches of selenium enriched sprouts have been produced in order to verify the efficiency of selenium uptake by broccoli sprouts under commercial conditions. –1 Sodium selenite solution (10 mg L ) was used to prepare seleniumenriched broccoli sprouts. Sodium selenite is available for biological uptake by plants. The results might be different while the addition of sodium selenite in each step of the germination process could enhance the concentration of selenium in broccoli sprouts. Therefore, it could be potentially selected as a candidate for certified reference materials
