Brazil nuts are very low in purines and rich in anti-inflammatory nutrients, making them a gout-safe snack in moderation.
Good
Their negligible purine load and plant origin pose minimal gout risk, while selenium and magnesium may reduce inflammation and support uric acid excretion.
Bad
Overconsumption can cause selenium toxicity; limit to 1–3 nuts daily due to high selenium density and calorie content.
