BRAZIL NUTS

Brazil nuts are large, nutrient-rich seeds from the Amazon rainforest, harvested from the Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa). They are an excellent source of selenium, a mineral with antioxidant properties that supports immune function and thyroid health. Brazil nuts also provide healthy fats, protein, and fiber, promoting heart health and digestion. Due to their high selenium content, they should be consumed in moderation to avoid toxicity. Additionally, their richness in antioxidants helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation.
