It appears you are correct. Macadamia only have about 6 mcg of selenium per nut http://nutrition.miningco.com/health/nutrition/library/foodfind/blnutmacadamia.htm
Most sites about selenium list Brazil nuts as having a lot in them: http://www.cockatoo.com/selenium/ http://www.berkeleywellness.com/supplements/dsSupSelenium.html http://www.cybervitamins.com/selenium.htm http://www.satisfied-mind.com/drugstore/selenium.htm http://www.prevention.com/cooking/news/more/9606news4.html : Brazil nuts have about 250 times more selenium than most foods ... but only if you buy 'em in the shell. Seems Brazil nuts grow in two regions of Brazil--a central region with selenium-rich soil and a western region with far less. Fortunately, exporters ship nuts form the central region with shells on; nuts form the west come without shells. In stores, Brazil nuts with shells have about 10 times more selenium per nut--120 micrograms--than nuts with the shells taken off.
