Brazil Nut

Brazil nuts are large, nutrient-dense seeds harvested from the Brazil nut tree, native to the Amazon rainforest. They have a creamy texture and a rich, buttery flavor, often described as slightly sweet. These nuts are highly regarded for their health benefits, being an excellent source of selenium, a powerful antioxidant that supports immune function and thyroid health. Brazil nuts are also rich in healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus. They can be enjoyed raw, roasted, or added to various dishes, including trail mixes, baked goods, and salads. However, due to their high selenium content, it's best to consume them in moderation.
