Brazil Nuts

Brazil Nuts are large, crescent-shaped Amazonian nuts known for their indulgent, buttery mouthfeel and subtle sweetness, making them a favorite in premium dry fruit assortments and health-focused diets. Just a few pieces deliver exceptional nutrition, especially selenium, which supports thyroid, immune, and antioxidant functions in the body.​

Culinary Applications

• Snacking & mixes: Enjoy plain, lightly roasted, or salted, or combine with other nuts and berries in trail mixes for a rich, satisfying crunch.​

• Baking & desserts: Chop or grind into cakes, brownies, biscotti, cookies, cheesecakes, and dessert crusts for nutty depth and creamy texture.​

• Salads & savory: Add to salads, grain bowls, rice dishes, or use as a garnish over roasted vegetables and creamy curries for gourmet appeal.​

• Spreads & swaps: Blend into nut butters or use as a substitute for other nuts (like pine nuts) in pesto and energy balls for a nutrient-dense twist.​

Health Benefits & Nutritional Details

• One serving (about 6 nuts or 28 g) provides around 180–190 calories, 4 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 19 g fat with a heart-friendly unsaturated fat profile.​

• Among the richest natural sources of selenium, with even 1–2 nuts often meeting or exceeding the adult daily requirement, supporting antioxidant defenses, thyroid health, and immunity.​

• Also supplies magnesium, copper, zinc, and vitamin E, contributing to bone strength, metabolic function, and cellular protection.​

• Best enjoyed in moderation due to very high selenium content, making them a potent superfood in small daily portions.
