Our Brazil nut has come from rainforests, hand-picked by forest- dwelling harvesters. The Brazil nut is the only internationally traded nut that comes from the wild, so it is unique.
Brazil nuts have an amazing buttery taste and smooth texture. Good for snack, they are a great source of antioxidants, vitamins, monounsaturated fats, and protein. Brazil nuts can also be chopped and used in baked goods, and have a similar taste and feel to macadamia nuts when used in cookies. Brazil nut pieces also add a nice crunch to salads. Partially substitute Brazil nut flour for regular flour in cake or brownie recipes to add a pleasant nutty richness and nutrient boost.
Brazil nuts can be stored in a cool, dry place such as a pantry for up to one month. For longer-term storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 9 months, or transfer them to the freezer where they can be kept for up to a year. When freezing Brazil nuts, the original package should be placed inside a resealable freezer bag.
Brazil nuts have got more selenium than any other food on the planet! Just one Brazil nut contains around 96 micrograms of selenium, that’s more than the recommended daily amount of 55 micrograms per day
