Pork, beef, turkey, chicken, cottage cheese, eggs, and brown rice contain less selenium compared to Brazil nuts.

“Ham, of all things, contains a lot of selenium, for whatever reason pork does. I'm not a big consumer of pork. Beef has some selenium, but what's interesting if you look at the sources, you know, pork, beef, turkey, chicken, cottage cheese, eggs, brown rice, what you want to understand is that Brazil nuts, six to eight Brazil nuts has 550 micrograms of selenium. And all the other foods I mentioned at much greater portion size than equivalent to six to eight Brazil nuts, either by volume or by calories, they have something like 30 to 50 micrograms of selenium.”
