About Brazil nut
The Brazil nut, native to the Amazon rainforest, is a nutrient-dense seed from the towering Brazil nut tree. Renowned for its creamy texture and rich, buttery flavor, this nut is often enjoyed raw, roasted, or incorporated into desserts and savory dishes, particularly in South American cuisine. Brazil nuts are an excellent source of selenium, providing more of this vital antioxidant mineral per serving than any other food. They also deliver healthy fats, protein, magnesium, and zinc, supporting heart health, immune function, and skin vitality. While their nutritional profile is impressive, consuming Brazil nuts in moderation is advised due to their high calorie and fat content, as well as the potential risk of selenium toxicity from excessive intake. One to two nuts per day is generally considered a safe and beneficial portion for most people.
