Brazilnuts

Brazilnuts are large, oil-rich tree nuts native to South America and commonly eaten as a snack or used in desserts and baking. They are prized for their creamy texture and rich, slightly earthy flavor. Nutritionally, Brazilnuts are notable for an extremely high selenium content (1917µg per 100g), and they also provide substantial healthy fats, magnesium and plant protein. Overall they are a nutrient-dense snack that supplies heart-healthy unsaturated fats and minerals, but because of the very high selenium level it’s best to enjoy them in small portions rather than in very large daily amounts.
