Selenium (Se) represents an essential trace element that is found in seleniferous soils, meat, vegetables, grains and yeast (Valdiglesias et al., 2010). Different plants absorb Se with different amounts, such as; wheat absorbs high amounts soil, Broccoli stores Se when they are grown in sodium selenate soil (Husen and Siddiqi, 2014). Garlic shows high amounts of Se accumulations and has been used as chemoprotective agent (Ezhuthupurakkal et al., 2017; Vyas and Rana, 2018).
