The Brazilian nut is considered a superfood for the human body, as it has many beneficial properties. What makes it stand out is its content of selenium, a trace element involved in the defense and antioxidation of the body, as well as in the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. It helps to support a healthy metabolism as well as the reproductive system.

It is a rich source of:

• protein
• dietary fiber
• magnesium
• calcium
• iron
• Manganese
• zinc
• thiamine
• vitamin E

Brazil nuts are typically consumed raw (usually 3 to 4 nuts per day) and have a delicate, creamy flavor and smooth texture. Try them in yogurt, on salads, over crepes or pancakes, in granola bars, as a key ingredient in vegan recipes, as well as in toppings for sweet and savory dishes.

They should be stored in a dry, cool place for 6 months, ideally in the refrigerator.
