I only know this because I also buy Brazil nuts in bulk, and because I eat a lot of nuts generally, was curious about their nutritional profile. The internetz, for what that's worth, warns about over-consumption due to the selenium content. So I literally ration mine as a daily treat.

(1,372 posts)I am the most-odd-person here, as I only enjoy the roasted peanuts. Usually, I reserve the remaining (nuts) for the other nuts in this nutty family of nuts.
