Almonds (Raw Unsalted) vs. Brazil Nuts (Raw)

Almonds (Prunus dulcis) are nutrient-dense tree nuts. Per 100g raw, they provide 579 kcal, 49.9g healthy fats (31.6g MUFA), 21.2g protein, 21.6g carbohydrates (12.5g fiber / 9.1g net carbs), and 25.6mg vitamin E (171% DV).

Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa) are large Amazonian tree seeds with the highest selenium concentration of any commonly eaten food, though actual content varies widely by growing region. Per 100g, they provide 659 kcal, 67.1g fats (24.6g MUFA, 20.6g PUFA, 16.1g saturated), 14.3g protein, and a lab-average 1,917µg selenium (3,485% DV) -- a handful per day is a sensible ceiling, not a target.
