Which of the following additions to a salad would most likely increase its vitamin E content?
A
Adding feta cheese
B
Adding grilled chicken breast
C
Adding shredded carrots
D
Adding sunflower seeds
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the role of vitamin E in the body. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage and supports immune function.
Step 2: Identify foods that are rich in vitamin E. Common sources include nuts, seeds (like sunflower seeds), and vegetable oils. Leafy greens and fortified cereals also contain vitamin E.
Step 3: Analyze the options provided in the problem. Feta cheese, grilled chicken breast, and shredded carrots are not significant sources of vitamin E. Sunflower seeds, however, are known to be rich in vitamin E.
Step 4: Consider the nutritional composition of sunflower seeds. They contain high levels of vitamin E, specifically in the form of alpha-tocopherol, which is the most biologically active form of vitamin E.
Step 5: Conclude that adding sunflower seeds to the salad would most likely increase its vitamin E content, based on their nutritional profile and the role of vitamin E in the diet.
