Hi SeaSideSusie!

Can you direct me to your list of products (Brazil nuts) with listed mg of selenium please?

Many thanks.

Thanks helvella.

The packaging needs to say "Grown in selenium rich soil" and preferably the area and possibly the amount of selenium.

Apparently Sainsburys SO organic brazil nuts contain 50mcg selenium per 30g serving of nuts

and their Fairtrade ones have 75mcg selenium per 30g serving

One member has said that M&S Natural Brazil Nuts say "harvested by hand in the Amazon forest and naturally high in selenium".

Also, check out Aldi's "The Foodie Market" Brazil nuts, the packaging is said to show selenium content as 79mcg per 30g serving.

Another one is 'My Garden of Eden' Brazil nuts from Home Bargains.. They say "High in Selenium and high in vitamin E" on the front of the packet and the Nutritional Information says "one serving (25g) gives 63ug of Selenium".
