Brazil Nuts may not be as popular as other nuts, but don’t be fooled - these little fellas are packed with just as much nutrition. Native to the Amazonian rain forests of South America, Brazil Nuts are one of the richest known natural food sources of selenium, an important dietary mineral. They’re also a good source of magnesium.
The Brazil nut is in the order of Ericales, which includes blueberries, cranberries, tea, and many others. The tree that these nuts grow on can reach 160 feet tall, and live for more than 500 years. After shelling, the nut is separated and packaged to retain freshness.
Brazil nuts contain proteins, carbohydrates, good fats, and fatty acids. These nutrients seek to support healthy energy levels, cholesterol levels already in the normal range, and cellular development. B vitamins, vitamin E, and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and zinc may support healthy tissue, bones and teeth; additionally, they may support the transportation of cellular energy, and a healthy appetite.

The nuts are organic, raw and unsalted! Just what I was looking for. We use them to get our selenium. Thank you for carrying them.
