Brazil Nuts

From: $9.50

If Brazil Nut trees could talk! These tall, strong, and powerful trees live up to 1,000 years. Native to the Amazon rainforest, they’ve witnessed the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, including the Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs, who likely used their fruits for nourishment. Today, Brazil nuts are still sourced primarily from wild trees in the jungle, using methods that have remained largely unchanged for thousands of years. Pods weighing up to two kilos fall from the trees. Workers gather and break them open, revealing anywhere from ten to forty nuts in individual shells. The large, long, cream-colored kernels are covered in a thin brown papery skin. At Royal Nut, we handpick only the plumpest, crispiest, and meatiest kernels. The flesh has a creamy texture and fresh, sweet flavor, making each nut a delicious treat. We also have Organic Brazil Nuts available. NEW BULK 5KG PRICE AVAILABLE!

  Brazil Nuts
• Health Benefits
  Where do we begin! Just one of these nuts packs such a powerful punch! Let's start with selenium, lacking in our Australian and NZ soil and a really important antioxidant for fighting free radicals and maintaining a healthy immune system. Incredibly, Brazil nuts have more selenium than any other food! Just two a day will supply the recommended daily intake. Brazil Nuts contain Vitamin E, and are a source of fibre, thiamin, and naturally low in sugars and sodium. They're a super form of plant protein, calcium and healthy fats. Brazil nuts also contain magnesium, essential for healthy bones and zinc, which also helps to maintain a healthy immune system.
