Brazil nuts are tasty and a phenomenal source of the mineral Selenium. In fact, you wouldn’t want to eat too many, and put yourself at risk for developing a toxicity! 4 a month (at one sitting) have been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels. You can also make my Brazil Nut Parm recipe and sprinkle on your favorite pasta dish. We keep them in the freezer (as we do with all nuts, and most whole grains and seeds). Trader Joe’s has a good price and sometimes you can also find these in bulk, but make sure they are fresh (and don’t taste rancid).
