Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) grain grown in North American prairie soils contains high concentrations of cadmium.

And yes good old flaxseed too - it depends on the land so of course it will not be in the seed you are eating.

"Flaxseed contains several dietary components that have been linked to low breast cancer risk; i.e., n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), lignans and fiber, but it also contains detectable levels of cadmium, a heavy metal that activates the estrogen receptor (ER)."
