CBrazil Nuts
Raw · Nuts
Graded C — 65 out of 100, #16 of 20 nuts & seeds. Clean label carries the score (100/100); omega-3 drags it down (0/100).
The short version: One nut covers your selenium for days. Literally — stop at two.
The catch: Selenium is extreme — 1917mcg per 100g. One or two nuts a day is plenty; more risks toxicity.
