Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts: more than just a tasty snack, these small giants are packed with a powerful punch of nutrients, making them a true superfood.

Rich in Selenium:

• Just one Brazil nut boasts an impressive 988% of the Daily Value (DV) of selenium, a crucial mineral for thyroid function, immunity, and cell health [1].
• Studies suggest selenium may play a role in preventing certain chronic diseases [2].

Beyond Selenium:

• Brazil nuts are also an excellent source of copper and magnesium, contributing to energy production, healthy bones, and nerve function [3].
• They offer a good amount of manganese, phosphorus, thiamine, zinc, and vitamin E, further enriching your diet [3].

Enjoying Brazil Nuts:

• Consume them raw or roasted for a satisfying crunch.
• Sprinkle them over salads, yogurt, or oatmeal for a delightful textural and nutritional boost.
• Make your own nut butter or trail mix featuring Brazil nuts.

Moderation is Key:

• Due to their high selenium content, it’s important to enjoy Brazil nuts in moderation.
• Sticking to a daily serving of 1-3 nuts is recommended to avoid exceeding the recommended daily intake of selenium [4].

Sustainable Sourcing:

• Look for sustainably sourced Brazil nuts to ensure responsible harvesting practices that protect the Amazon rainforest and its indigenous communities.
