Did you know that just eating one or two Brazil Nuts a day provides you with your daily recommended amount of the mineral selenium. I've been eating one a day for years now.

I want to eat one or two Brazil Nuts a day but my friend I want to know how much of it per Kilogram and where from i can get it. Do you know the nearest market where I can get it. I live in Calcutta.

Not sure where you can get them in Calcutta....maybe the grocery stores or online somewhere.

I love Brazil Nuts. The problem is I can never seem to find them in the grocery store. I can't believe that you only need to eat one or two for the daily selenium allowance. That's good to know.

I usually buy them at the bulk food store...sometimes they're only available around Christmas. Now one of our grocery store carries them in a package, so far, so good at being able to get them regularly.

Hi Mitzu Thanks for the tip I really like Brazil Nuts a lot there one of my favorites I'm surprised that I would only need 2 of them to provide a recommended amount of selenium ... thats very little its usually a person needs a huge amount of a particular food to equal the recommended daily allowance of any type of vitaminor mineral
