About Brazilnut

Brazil nuts, native to the Amazon rainforest, are nutrient-dense seeds from the towering Brazil nut tree. Rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber, they are a versatile ingredient in South American cuisine, often used in desserts, snacks, or eaten raw. These nuts are an excellent source of selenium, a mineral essential for thyroid function and antioxidant support, with just one nut meeting your daily requirements. They also provide magnesium, copper, and vitamin E, which contribute to bone health, energy production, and skin repair. Their high monounsaturated fat content promotes heart health, while their fiber aids digestion. However, Brazil nuts should be consumed in moderation due to their high calorie and fat content. Overconsumption may lead to selenium toxicity. A few servings per week can be a delicious and beneficial addition to a balanced diet.
