Brazil Nuts, Whole, Organic

With their smooth, buttery texture and nutty flavor, Brazil nuts provide 96 times more selenium than most other nuts. That's a crazy amount of goodness! You only need to eat one to two nuts per day to maintain optimal selenium levels. Enjoy your Brazil nuts chopped up in salads, stir-fry, or as a snack for a healthy fat and protein boost. Product packed in a facility that also handles nuts, peanuts, soy, sesame, and wheat. 8 oz and 3 lb sizes only. Selenium toxicity from Brazil nuts is possible with chronic high intake, but it requires consuming many nuts daily for weeks or months, not just a single large dose. The safe upper limit (UL) for selenium is 400 mcg, which can be reached with 4–5 Brazil nuts, as one nut contains approximately 68–91 mcg of the mineral. To prevent toxicity, limit daily intake to three or four Brazil nuts, considering other selenium sources in your diet like seafood, meat, grains, and supplements.
