Bump. I was just wondering as well - I was looking up selenium amounts on various search results, and they seem to grossly vary. Like some websites list 1 serving of pasta have 1/2 the RDA, and other 1/8 the RDA. I am curious of the selenium content in oats. I'd rather not have to buy Brazil nuts because they are super expensive, and they last batch I bought at Trader Schmoe's tasted bitter and had like a darker color in the center. They were a little nasty, I might have to throw them away.

I think the selenium content of land-based plants can vary quite a bit depending on the soil content. I live in a place known to be low in soil selenium. Possibly seafood might provide a more reliable source?

Sounds rancid. Chucking them is probably wise. Fresh enough ones shouldn't taste like that.

I take Selenium because I have Hashimoto's and it's known to lower antibodies in some. Plus I'm experimenting with iodine supplementation (anti-Peat I know) and it's important to have proper levels of selenium if you do that.

Haven't noticed anything, but then I also take a full T3 replacement dose, cuz I just don't depend on my thyroid to make its own hormones anymore.
