Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are the large hard-shelled seeds that come from the Brazil nut tree. The brazil nut is a naturally healthy nut that is high in protein, calcium, zinc and iron and is one of the best natural sources of selenium. Brazil nuts can be eaten raw or can be roasted, ground, sliced or chopped and used in baked goods such as cookies and cake or can be used as a topping for salads or ice cream. They are almost always found in mixed nut collections and are usually the largest nut found in the mixture. But now you can order a supply of brazil nuts to enjoy on their own! Brazil nuts have a sweet, rich flavor and have a similar taste and can be a replacement for macadamia nuts or coconuts in recipes.

Not only are brazil nuts a savory snack, but they also have many benefits to your health. Brazil nuts contain more selenium than any other nut. Selenium is a strong antioxidant that has been associated with lower rates of heart disease, certain types of cancers such as prostate and breast cancer, and studies have shown that it stimulates the immune system. Brazil nuts are a great source of fiber and protein, and are high in magnesium, zinc and iron as well, which are important for metabolism and digestion.

Brazil nut trees are found across the Amazon forests of South America and grow to enormous heights of over one hundred fifty feet. The tree produces huge round fruits that weigh about five pounds and look like a coconut. Inside this fruit is where the brazil nuts are found. Each fruit contains about ten to twenty-five Brazil nuts in a cluster. Brazil nut trees produce between two to five hundred pounds of nuts every year. These exotic nuts are one of the largest of all nuts and are creamy in texture.

Brazil nuts can be enjoyed roasted or raw, and can be used in a wide variety of recipes and desserts. Add them to your pasta, yogurt and salad, mix them with honey or stuffing, bake them with bread, cookies or cakes, cover them in chocolate or enjoy them on their own!
