Organic Brazil nuts arrive out of the shell and ready for snacking, cooking, or baking. These raw Brazil nuts are certified organic by CCOF. They are a complete protein, boasting all nine essential amino acids, along with a rich source of other nutrients like selenium.
How to Enjoy Brazil Nuts
Raw organic Brazil nuts have a delicate, creamy flavor and smooth texture. They are delicious for snacking and go well in mixes with other nuts. Raw Brazil nuts can be chopped and used in baked treats; they have a similar taste and feel to macadamia nuts when used in cookies. Chopped raw organic Brazil nuts are also delicious in salads and rice dishes.
Health Benefits of Organic Brazil Nuts
Organic Brazil nuts boast more selenium than any other nut - about 2,500 times as much! Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage by free radicals, plays an important role in thyroid health, protects the immune system against infection, and may reduce joint inflammation.
Brazil nuts are considered a complete protein, containing all 9 essential amino acids. This makes them a beneficial addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. Also a rich source of dietary fiber, brazil nuts make a filling snack that can help with weight control.
Among plant-based foods, organic Brazil nuts are one of the richest sources of magnesium. Magnesium is an important mineral that aids the body’s absorption of calcium, and supports the formation of strong bones and teeth. It is also helpful to the cardiovascular system and has been associated with reducing the risk of heart disease.

My husband and I eat 3 Brazil nuts each day for their superior selenium content. What a tasty way to get the nutrients we need! Organic, flavorful, every one perfect. I was used to buying these in 1 lb bags, but my last order was a surprise at the price of the 8 oz bags. So, now I can get a decent price per pound by buying the 5-pound bag.
