About Paranuss

The Brazil nut, often referred to as "Paranuss," is a nutrient-packed seed native to the Amazon rainforest, primarily found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. Renowned for its rich, buttery flavor and satisfying crunch, it is a staple in South American cuisine and widely enjoyed worldwide. Paranuss is a powerhouse of nutrition, offering high amounts of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. It is particularly celebrated for its exceptional selenium content, a trace mineral vital for thyroid health, immune support, and antioxidant protection. Just one to two nuts a day can provide your entire recommended daily intake of selenium. However, due to its high fat content and calorie density, moderation is key. Consumed in balanced amounts, Paranuss can support heart health, brain function, and overall well-being, making it a delicious and functional addition to a healthy diet.
