"Nutritionally, Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, although the amount of selenium varies greatly.[2] They are also a good source of magnesium and thiamine...The fat breakdown is roughly 25% saturated, 41% monounsaturated, and 34% polyunsaturated." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_nuts So they are nutritionally good and they have a relatively low saturated fat content. So, good for you.

Brazil nuts are particularly healthy due to their high selenium content, which makes their protein content "complete". This means that, unlike the proteins in most plant products, Brazil nuts' proteins contain all the necessary amino acids to foster optimal growth in humans (in the same way as proteins from animal products do). Selenium is also a powerful antioxidant linked to lower rates of cancer and heart disease. Brazil nuts are also a very good source of zinc which is essential to digestion and metabolism.
