Brazil nuts

Brazilian Nuts (Brazil nuts)

Brazil nuts (also known as Brazil nuts) are large, creamy nuts derived from the Brazil nut tree, which grows mainly in the Amazon region.

They are rich in healthy fats, protein and fiber. They are known worldwide as the richest natural source of selenium. Just one to two nuts contain the recommended daily amount of selenium, a mineral essential for thyroid function and the immune system.

Because of the extremely high selenium content, it is recommended not to eat more than a few nuts a day.
