The ranking
Most selenium per calorie
Computed from real food data. Micrograms of selenium for every 100 calories.

- Why
- Selenium supports thyroid function and your body's antioxidant defences. Ranked per 100 kcal instead of per 100 g, the list stops favouring foods you eat by the spoonful and shows what gives you the most selenium for the calories it costs.
- Tip
- One Brazil nut covers a day. Seafood and mushrooms are the steady everyday sources.
