Brazil nuts, which happen to actually be seeds, grow on one of the largest and longest-lived trees in the Amazon rainforest. They can grow up to 164 ft tall and often live up to 1000 years! A single tree can also produce up to 250 lbs of brazil nuts.
Well known as the best food-source of Selenium, a powerful antioxidant, brazil nuts are also a good source of magnesium, copper and thiamine. Other potential health benefits include: anti-inflammatory, anticancer, mood lifting, lowering cholesterol and supporting thyroid health.
*To avoid intaking too much selenium, it is recommended to not consume more than four or five brazil nuts per day (if you are consuming them daily).
Stored in vacuum packaging and kept cool to preserve freshness.
Unpasteurized. Keep cool (Refrigerate if possible).
They gave 10 men and women a single meal containing zero, one, four, or 8 Brazil nuts, and found that the ingestion of just that single serving almost immediately improved cholesterol levels.
