About Castanha
Castanha, commonly known as Brazil nut, is a nutrient-packed seed native to the Amazon rainforest, found in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. Renowned for its rich, buttery flavor, it’s a staple in South American cuisines and often enjoyed raw, roasted, or incorporated into desserts and dishes. Castanhas are a powerhouse of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and essential minerals, including selenium, magnesium, and zinc. Selenium, in particular, supports immune function and thyroid health, making Castanhas an excellent choice for energy and overall wellness. They also contain antioxidants that help combat inflammation and promote heart health. However, due to their high-fat content, they are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation. For those with nut allergies, Castanhas should be avoided. Versatile and nutritious, this Amazonian delicacy is a delicious way to enhance a balanced diet.
