"According to the finding of the research, any amount of Pb, Hg and Sn were not detected in the organic certified nuts. In the organic certified nuts, the levels ranged between 5.53-123.78 ppb Cd, 8.22-16.62 ppm Cu, 0.24-1.86 ppm Ni, 15.03-46.37 ppm Zn, 444.1-810.6 ppb Cr, 22.06-67.42 ppm Fe and 1.24-3.14 ppb As."[1]
Perhaps you are speaking of conventional (non organic) nuts and seeds ? I would not consider consuming those.

- wallace_f 7y agoWhy would organic nuts have less heavy metal toxicity than conventional? Your link is broken btw.
- jobigoud 7y agoBased on the quote I tracked it down to this paper: "Determination of heavy metal contents in some organic certified dried nuts". I can only access the abstract, couldn't find it on sci-hub. The study is focused on organic nuts though, it's not specifically an organic vs non-organic. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325951651_Determination_of_heavy_metal_contents_in_some_organic_certified_dried_nuts https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325951651_Determina...
