Brazil Nuts
These giant nuts are known for being the #1 source of selenium, an essential trace element that plays an essential role in reproduction and helping your body fight off infection. In fact, just one Brazil nut can deliver up to 90 mcg of selenium, which is almost twice as much selenium as you need in a day. And a one-ounce serving (that’s six to eight nuts) packs a whopping 777 percent of your daily selenium needs.
Eating the occasional serving of Brazil nuts is fine, but having them every day could put you at risk for selenium toxicity—which has the potential to cause hair loss, gastrointestinal, and neurological problems, lightheadedness, and even heart attacks or kidney failure. “Keep it to one weekly serving, or just have one or two nuts a few times a week,” says Jessica Cording, R.D.
