That is because bananas and Brazil nuts are good sources of radioactive,
but essential, potassium.


Not sure I'd call brazil nuts a "good" source.

Gram for gram, about twice as good a source as bananas.

You'd need to eat about
530 grams to get your daily potassium requirement. And that is an awful
lot of nuts. And liable to cause a severe selenium overdose.

I don't think I would rely upon them alone for my whole daily dose, but
they taste a lot better than bananas.

Sun-dried tomatoes are possible the densest source needing only about
100 grams.

Not something I would choose to nibble on as a snack though.
