Selenium in Brazil nuts

LOUPS profile image

Hello, I was just wandering about selenium in Brazil nuts. I eat two organic Brazil nuts from Brazil every day to help with hashi flares. Is this about right?

I realise it's not an exact dose like taking a supplement but I love Brazil nuts and I would rather eat these than take a tablet if possible.

Do you think this is ok?

It depends which part of Brazil they come from. Check the table of selenium content of brazil nuts from different parts of the world

That's interesting, thanks for that info I know the ones I'm eating are from the amazon but I can't find the information as to whereabouts...

I think it's great. I eat organic nuts nearly every day of my life. My father was a wholesale greengrocer and I was always encouraged to eat nuts.

Years ago they were never available all year round like today. We used to sit down in the evening and crack them open. There are so easy to buy.

I eat 2 brazils 3 walnuts and 6/7 almonds every afternoon.

Although I live in France I order my organic nuts from the UK

Yes it's great, what would we do without them?
