Hi I would also like to chime in regarding Brazil Nuts as a staple ingredient for crusts.

One thing not many are aware about re: Brazil Nuts is that they are a seriously huge source of selenium. So much so that 2 brazil nuts per day (if I remember correctly) provides your full daily allowance of selenium. In fact Denny and I eat 1-2 Brazil nuts daily for our selenium fix.

But you can also get toxic on Brazil Nuts from "selenium toxicity" if you consume too many over a period of time. You should google symptoms of toxicity.

For that reason, I would hesitate to use them as a seed replacement in crusts. IF you can't have almonds (as I can't), I would think a better substitute would either be walnut meal, or pecan meal, or a combo of different seeds/nuts such as a mix of pumpkin, sesame and chia.

Sorry to be the voice of gloom about selenium. But the recipe sounds divine however!!!
