Outside of being a tasty nut from South America, these nuts lower the risk of heart disease. Not surprising, considering they contain good fat, nutrients, and antioxidants. Though their high levels of potassium mean you don’t want to overdo it. You will find an incredible source of selenium in Brazil nuts, with a single one holding 96 mcg, well over your recommended daily intake.
