Brazil Nuts

Everyday

Brazil nuts are large, crescent-shaped nuts harvested from the Brazil nut tree native to the Amazon rainforest. They are exceptionally rich in selenium, a trace mineral vital for thyroid function and antioxidant defense. These nuts have a smooth, buttery texture and a rich, earthy flavor, making them a satisfying snack in moderation due to their high fat content.
