About Nuts, brazilnuts, raw
Brazil nuts are the large, dense, creamy nuts from a towering Amazon rainforest tree, harvested from the wild rather than farmed. Rich and buttery, they're a cheeseboard and snack-mix staple — but their real claim to fame is a single mineral.
Brazil nuts are by far the richest known food source of selenium, an essential trace mineral and antioxidant: just one or two nuts can supply a full day's worth. They're also high in heart-healthy fats, magnesium, copper and protein. That selenium concentration is so high, in fact, that eating a large handful every day can tip you into too much.
The upshot is unusual for a nut: with Brazil nuts, a couple a day is plenty. Treated that way, they're one of the simplest ways to cover your selenium from food.
