{"product_id":"nuts-32250","title":"Brazil nuts (Brazil Nuts)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrazil Nuts\u003c\/strong\u003e stand out for their large, elongated shape, characteristic creamy texture, and rich, nutty flavor. Their pale kernels are often partially covered by a thin brown skin. They are a distinctive choice among nuts and can be eaten on their own or added in small amounts to sweet and savory recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are Brazil Nuts?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazil nuts are the edible seeds of the tropical tree \u003cem\u003eBertholletia excelsa\u003c\/em\u003e, which grows in the Amazon Basin. Despite their name, they are not the same as common walnuts. The seeds develop inside a large, hard fruit and take on their elongated shape as they grow. Removing the outer shell reveals the kernel used as food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTaste and texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir flavor is rich, mild, and slightly sweet, with a buttery feel and subtle earthy notes. Their texture is firm but not overly hard, and chewing releases their natural aroma. Thanks to their large size, they can easily be cut into chunks for recipes. Natural variations in the color and shape of each nut are to be expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNutritional characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazil nuts contain plant-based fats, protein, fiber, and minerals such as magnesium and copper. They are also particularly well known for their high \u003cstrong\u003eselenium\u003c\/strong\u003e content, an essential trace element. The actual amount of selenium can vary significantly from nut to nut, depending on origin and growing conditions. So it is not accurate to assume that every nut provides exactly the same amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBe mindful of serving size because of selenium\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelenium is essential in small amounts, but excessive intake can cause unwanted effects. Because Brazil nuts have an exceptionally high and variable selenium content, they are not suitable for unrestricted daily consumption by the handful. Even a small amount may provide a significant amount of selenium. Those who take selenium supplements or have specific dietary needs should consult a healthcare professional about their total intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKitchen ideas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn yogurt and breakfast dishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChop a small piece of Brazil nut and add it to yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit salad. Its buttery flavor pairs well with apple, banana, cinnamon, and honey. Since the nuts are large, chopping them finely helps distribute their flavor across more bites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn desserts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrazil nuts work well in cookies, brownies, cakes, and chocolate creations. Use a few coarsely chopped pieces to add a crunchy contrast to soft batter. They pair with cocoa, vanilla, and dried fruit, without the need for complicated ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn salads and savory dishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a small amount of finely chopped nut to salads with leafy greens, roasted vegetables, or grain dishes. Their rich flavor pairs well with olive oil, lemon, and fresh herbs. Use them as a finishing touch to preserve their characteristic texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairings from Spices Bazaar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’d like to try other nuts with a different flavor profile, discover Spices Bazaar’s \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/nuts-40953\"\u003ePecans\u003c\/a\u003e.

Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator. Do not eat them if you notice an off smell or unpleasant taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAllergens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContains Brazil nuts, tree nuts.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not suitable for people with a related allergy.
