About Castanha do brasil
Castanha do Brasil, also known as Brazil nuts, are nutrient-dense seeds native to the Amazon rainforest. Renowned for their rich, buttery flavor, they are often enjoyed raw, roasted, or incorporated into dishes across South American cuisine. These nuts are a powerhouse of essential nutrients, particularly selenium — a mineral crucial for thyroid health and antioxidant protection. In addition, they provide healthy fats, protein, magnesium, and vitamin E, supporting heart health, brain function, and skin vitality. However, due to their high selenium content, it's important to consume Brazil nuts in moderation to avoid toxicity. Typically, one to two nuts a day is a safe and effective way to enjoy their benefits. Castanha do Brasil is also valued for its fiber content, aiding digestion, and its plant-based fats, which can promote satiety and reduce unhealthy snacking. Perfect as a snack or ingredient, they represent both flavor and function in nutrition.
