Brazil nuts, native to the Amazon rainforest, are nutrient-dense seeds from the towering Brazil nut tree. These rich, buttery nuts are a staple in South American cuisine and are often enjoyed raw, roasted, or in baked goods. Packed with healthy fats, Brazil nuts are an excellent source of selenium, a powerful antioxidant that supports thyroid function, immune health, and cell protection. They are also rich in magnesium, zinc, and vitamins E and B1, which contribute to heart health, energy production, and skin vitality. While Brazil nuts offer many benefits, moderation is key; their high selenium content can lead to toxicity if consumed in excess. Additionally, they are calorie-dense, with fats that may pose concerns for weight management when overeaten. Their unique flavor and nutrient profile make Brazil nuts a delicious and beneficial component of a balanced diet.
