I can't imagine anyone wanting that many chocolate brazils.

Chocolate brazils are not even in my top 100 fave choc things.

Good grief.

That's a lot of nuts!

I've changed my mind. I've found some really nice chocolate brazils from Ringtons .

Brazils are good for you - eating one per day gives you a good Selenium intake. But having more than 5 causes Selenium toxicity. 

[Velvet Darkness]

Unfortunately Brazils are not good for me.  Even the smallest amount of any kind of nut is very bad for me indeed.

It is not the extreme kind of allergy that kills, but still, the effects are unbelievably painful and unpleasant.

I wonder are there other non nut sources for selenium?

[kevvosa]

What a shame Velvet. There's a list of selenium rich foods here: http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/selenium.asp#h2

but unfortunately most are animal based sources, and I know you're a veggie like myself. I take vitamin supplements so maybe that'd be the best source.

I am violently allergic to brazil nuts and don't really like other nuts at all.
