      The amount of selenium in a brazil nut varies from tree to tree. The amount of selenium in a brazil nut depends (in part?) on the amount of selenium in the soil.

        Haidut mentions the HED for selenium in this interesting post from 2022.

          I was hoping industry would develop a low pufa version like they did for the peanut. Now there's no reason to give these things a single thought

          a pointless trash food. hate them😡

            @herenow most nuts suck. for peanut I like PB2 powder (defatted peanut butter powder) and then mix with coconut oil. or just mix as is in milk for peanut flavour without the peanut fat.

              Liver and shellfish, but cronometer usually tracks selenium from ground beef and milk. Does anyone think those amounts are accurate? My guess is it's lower just because feed / industry isn't so natural or high quality. Still, it seems like most cuts of beef have a good amount.

                PB2 is decent if you get a craving for pb / banana / honey sandwich. Regular peanut butter gives me awful stomach pain and indigestion.

                If you want to read more about peanuts and peanut butter (largely an American food) read this book:

                Creamy and Crunchy: An Informal History of Peanut Butter, the All-American Food by Jon Krampner

                It's very interesting and goes into some of the economic and nutrition aspects of peanuts/pb industry.

                One thing that stuck is the idea of aflatoxin from bird poop leeching into peanut butter when it rained because peanut butter factories wouldn't fix their leaking roofs. Terrible!

                From AI:

                Aflatoxins were first identified in commercial turkeys in the 1960s, and they are known to cause acute toxicity, known as "Turkey-X disease".
                Research has shown that aflatoxins can cause reduced weight gain, impaired immune function, and liver damage in birds.
                In contrast, avian influenza, particularly the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) strains, can cause severe disease and high mortality rates in poultry and some wild birds.

                Gotta wonder if something similar is going on with "bird flu" and the chicken / egg insanity.

                    I just tried this with the Pasokin brand with about 1/5 the pufa bc they use high oleic peanuts. Worked great and guiltless! Good for fattening up too.

                    I'm a happy camper and soon to be more saturated than @Jennifer
