example 150g bag

Origin:
Wild Brazil nut trees grow irregularly between other trees of the rainforest and are found mainly on the banks of the southern and northern tributaries of the Amazon river. Main areas of cultivation therefore are Brazil, Peru and Bolivia.

Description:
Brazil nuts (also named Para nut) are largely still harvested from wild Brazil nut trees. The trees grow woody capsules similar to coconuts that contain approximately 10-20 seeds, which are the nuts we know. One tree van hold up to 600 of those capsules. Most Brazil nuts are cracked and sorted manually. Harvest time is from November to March.

Uses:
Most often eaten raw as a snack or in mixes (such as trail mix). Brazil nuts are also a natural source for selenium.
